1. Identity match
A claimed profile is matched to professional identity information before verification.
Traceable by design
Verification is a process, not a decorative badge.
Every verified field should answer three questions: what was checked, where it came from, and when it was last reviewed.
2. License check
Jurisdiction, public identifier, current status, and source date are recorded.
3. Source reconciliation
First-party claims are compared with public-record or licensed-data sources.
4. Publish with provenance
Verified fields display their source type, verification date, and last check.
5. Refresh stale data
Time-sensitive fields enter a refresh queue and may lose a current indicator.
6. Correct or appeal
People can submit evidence, dispute a match, report an issue, and request review.
