Access should grow with trust rather than familiarity alone.

People often get access because they have been around a long time rather than because they have proved reliable with what they were told. Length of acquaintance is not the same as demonstrated discretion. Some newer friends have earned more than relatives you have known for decades, and matching access to evidence rather than tenure protects you from repeated disappointment.

Think about who has actually held something well for you and who has not. Adjust what you tell each accordingly, quietly and without announcement. Access is meant to be earned in increments, not granted permanently.
