What a profile-check badge would mean
Proposed criteria awaiting operator approval: confirm the professional’s identity and control of their stated contact route; review authority to publish the portfolio and collaborator credits; obtain explicit consent for the exact public profile. No profile has been awarded a badge on this site.
What it would not mean
A profile check is not certification of skill, an examination result, government recognition, accreditation, association membership, a background check or a guarantee of service quality, safety, suitability or employment.
Evidence and review
Private verification evidence must not be published in a profile, general enquiry or public repository. The operator must approve a secure review process, responsible reviewer, validity/recheck period and correction/appeal arrangements before verification opens.
Badge availability
Verification is inactive. No payment buys verification. Artist feedback, testimonials and ratings will be published only when the underlying experience, author and permission can be substantiated.
