 No need for something like that. The Trustnet paper already provides human-meaningful labels. 

Brugeman, any plans to implement those labels to make ranking easier? 
 Sure - looks like a 5 point scale
    
Trust weight (t)  Semantic         Human-meaningful label
    ----------------------------------------------------------
    t == 0            no trust         New person
    0 < t < 0.25      low trust        Acquaintance
    0.25 >= t < 0.75  medium trust     Friend
    0.75 >= t < 1.0   high trust       Peer
    t == 1            complete trust   Partner 
 It's there the Friend labels on the screenshot. Also on the 5-star ratings nostr:naddr1qq25gnzpveay5jns29z9xdrkdgehw5mvv46k6q3qarkn0xxxll4llgy9qxkrncn3vc4l69s0dz8ef3zadykcwe7ax3dqxpqqqp65wuucp8v 
 I see, but is it a drop-down menu i can choose from? Or does it just update the label when I slide the number? Could use more visual reflection in the bar too. 

Seeing those better reflected would help me a lot. Maybe others too 
 Those update as you move the slider. Maybe #nostrdesign team has any ideas? 
 Which labels were you referring to? 
 There are labels to the right of the profile name - Friend/Peer/Partner/Acquaintance/New person, it changes if you're dragging the slider (on the screenshot above). People questioned whether it's intuitive... I'd say never mind, the issue is too minor without the actual use or feedback atm.  
 I’m thinking about actual use fwiw. I remember @Martti Malmi had this in Iris version 0.1 and it was overkill. So he switched to just “friend or not friend” and when you follow someone it just assigns the friend for you. 

Maybe there is a happy middle ground though. Can I just select what they are without thinking about numbers? Remember MySpace “Top Friends”? Analysis paralysis haha 
 Remember these trust score lists are public. I am pretty sure everyone has at least one special person that will really appreciate that one extra point you can assing that takes them to the top.
