How we verify
A badge is only worth something if it's hard to get. Here is exactly what stands behind every green one.
Three checks before a green badge
Every verified story clears all three. If any one fails, the story does not get a verified badge — it stays pending or doesn't publish.
1. Client confirmation
We speak to the client directly — a recorded interview — and confirm the engagement happened, was paid, and was delivered by the named provider.
2. Evidence of outcomes
Every number on the page is backed by something checkable: before/after metrics, dashboards, or documentation. No adjectives, only evidence.
3. Method on record
How each story was verified is published on the story itself. The verification record is part of the page, not a claim hidden in fine print.
The badges
All three checks complete. Confirmed with the client. The only badge that should influence a buying decision.
Submitted and in the verification queue. Published transparently, but not yet confirmed.
An illustrative example showing the format. Never a real engagement, never counts as proof.
