Current guesses on the conditions for each ending

[Taberone]

These are my current guesses as to the conditions for each ending. I think all that matters is how many targets you spare or kill, and how much Steve trusts you.

Best ending: Spare all targets, have 100% trust with Steve (can confirm this myself, I got it on my first playthrough by doing exactly this)

Neutral ending: Spare all targets, have less than 100% trust with Steve

Bad ending: Kill at least one target and/or have really low trust with steve?

Worst ending: Kill all targets, do not spare any of them, and have absolutely 0% trust with Steve?

How do you increase or decrease Steve's trust. Do you need to avoid killing bodyguards and/or cops.

You can kill without losing trust as long as it's not civilians, innocent targets, or police. Killing any of them will decrease trust. Bodyguards are fair game since they're not considered "innocents."

Talking to Steve once per hideout visit should also give a minor trust increase, along with generally avoiding anything that loses his trust (ex. avoid killing any target you have the option to spare, avoid killing civilians). Doing the side missions might also help.

You can still get a neutral ending if you kill one target

I wonder if it's possible to prevent getting 100% trust with steve without killing innocents (I'm going for some achievements). I already have seen the best ending. Suggestions? Thx.

talking to him aside from doing the briefing and not doing side missions is the best way to not get too much trust, but i don't know if you can go below 100% by doing that
