Here's a concise stab: a set of "weightings and preferences" - that are unique to you - scoped to particular contexts about other people and topics, sourced from your own and your trusted contact's opinions and interactions.

example: 2: "do all the people who's opinions I trust on 'best pizza' say I'll enjoy a given restaurant?"
example 3: "among the people I trust for hiring talented software developer freelancers, has anyone had good experience with freelancer Y?"
