Methodology
CredVerity extracts discrete professional claims from submitted materials, searches current public sources, and reports how strongly each claim is supported. It organizes evidence and identifies follow-up topics; it does not determine a person's honesty.
Strict source independence
A candidate's CV, LinkedIn profile, personal website, portfolio, biography, and social accounts are subject-controlled. They define what is being claimed but never independently verify it. CredVerity only counts eligible institutional, registry, publication, employer, or genuinely independent sources toward verification.
Overall claim-support signal
Reports use four plain-language levels — Very high, High, Medium, or Low — based on the mix of independently verified, partially verified, unresolved, and contradicted claims. CredVerity shows no numeric overall score or numeric evidence-strength score.
Result categories
- Independently verified: eligible sources support the material parts of the claim.
- Partially verified: some elements are supported while material details remain unclear.
- Not independently verified: 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.
Internal reference metrics
CredVerity stores aggregate claim outcomes without names, CV text, or source URLs so the service can evaluate its methodology over time. Reference-set averages are not displayed while the sample remains too small.
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Public information can be incomplete, outdated, mistaken, or unavailable.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.
