Self-declared
Submitted by the organisation and not independently validated.
PARTNER VERIFICATION
Make partner confidence explicit.
A verification framework should communicate what has—and has not—been checked instead of implying blanket endorsement.
Verification states
Four evidence levels.
Different claims need different evidence and review effort.
Reviewed
Identity and basic capability information reviewed.
Evidence-backed
Specific claims supported by projects, certifications or artefacts where permission allows.
Revalidated
Time-sensitive evidence reviewed again on a defined cadence.
NEXT STEP
Design the profile and review policy first.
Verification should be scoped, explainable and auditable.
