This is a very half-baked idea, but most trust-based services (e.g. Uber, Airbnb, Trustpilot) seem to have settled on five-star ratings and/or reviews as a solution. Perhaps you could experiment with adding similar functionality to EA Forum profiles for orgs and/or individuals, although I’m sceptical the benefits would outweigh the potential downsides.
