How VerifySweep treats credential claims

VerifySweep is designed to distinguish an independently verified individual credential from a company marketing claim, association membership, course completion or other training.

What to look for

A credential should be attributed to the individual who holds it when the issuing organization treats the credential as individual. The issuing organization and verification source should be recorded.

What to document

Certification, membership, manufacturer training, continuing education and field experience are valuable but different signals. VerifySweep should not convert one category into another or imply that one logo proves every employee is qualified.

How to use it

Expired, unverifiable or disputed claims should be labeled according to what can actually be established. Absence from a directory should prompt further verification rather than an automatic accusation of fraud.

Independent sources

Credential and platform-policy claims should be checked against the issuing organization or platform. VerifySweep encourages direct verification rather than relying on a logo, advertisement or third-party claim.

Credential claims are checked at the issuing source when possible. Investigation findings keep verified facts separate from allegations and AI-assisted leads.
