Variance Analysis

Trust perceptions vary significantly across categories and consumer groups.

While some brands evoke strong levels of trust among all respondents, others spark strong divides and polarizing opinions.

To capture these dynamics, we created graphs to show the distribution of trust measurements at both the brand and category level.

The following visualizations illustrate these results and offer key insights into how trust is spread across the market.
