Our evidence standard
Methodology
CredVerity extracts discrete professional claims from a submitted CV, searches current public sources, and reports the degree to which each claim is supported. The service is designed to organize evidence, not determine a person's honesty.
Source priority
We prioritize official institutional pages, corporate registries, university and publication records, contemporaneous announcements, and reputable independent reporting. Self-authored profiles may provide context but do not independently verify a claim.
Result categories
- Independently verified: credible independent sources support the material parts of the claim.
- Partially verified: some elements are supported, while other material elements remain unclear.
- Not independently verified: available public evidence did not independently establish the claim.
- Contradicted: credible available evidence directly conflicts with the claim.
- Insufficient evidence: the public record is too limited to reach a useful conclusion.
Important limitation
Public information can be incomplete, outdated, mistaken, or unavailable. Reports should be reviewed critically and must not be used as the sole basis for employment, housing, credit, insurance, investment, or another consequential decision.
