Outside trust inspectors must infer trustee quality from indirect evidence.
Evidence
These “unauthorized” surveillants who represent principals rarely have access to the inner sanctums of the agents under scrutiny and must therefore devise more innovative inferential models and unobtrusive measures of trustee performance, integrity, candor, or competence. — Shapiro, Susan P., The Social Control of Impersonal Trust, 98
Categorization
