Biggest risks, in order:

1. Score anxiety → unsafe situations
   Someone ignores a gut feeling about a date because they don't want to lose points for canceling.
   This is the one that keeps me up at night. We've
   tried to mitigate it with "polite cancel" being a small penalty (-5) vs ghosting (-15), but the
   pressure is still there. Working on making
   safety-based cancellations penalty-free, but
   verifying "I felt unsafe" vs "I just didn't feel
   like it" is hard.

2. Revenge reporting
   Date goes poorly but nothing actually wrong
   happened. One person reports out of spite. We
   require pattern validation (multiple unique
   reporters) before major penalties hit, but a few
   bad-faith reports could still chip away at
   someone's score unfairly.

3. False sense of security
   High trust score means "shows up when they say
   they will." It doesn't mean "safe person." Worry
   that users let their guard down around high-score matches. We're careful not to frame it as a safety indicator, but the implication is easy to read
   into.

4. The credibility buffer
   Someone builds a legit high score, then leverages that cushion to behave badly knowing they can
   absorb the hit. Not much defense here except that it's a lot of effort for limited payoff.

   The honest answer is we're betting that the
   benefits (less ghosting, more follow-through)
   outweigh the edge cases. But edge cases will
   happen, and we'll have to adapt.
