My thoughts would be that according to the lift formula you’d would require proportionally more nose up trim for every knot of speed loss.

It has to be correlated but if it’s not linear what is it?

Thanks in advance.
What is the exact reason for your question?
Leaving the protections of A320 aside, the effect of speed on trim isn't different to a let's say B737.
