Wiki · citable explainer
A visual trust cue whose meaning depends entirely on what was verified and by whom — not a universal synonym for quality.
Social-platform verification, review-site badges, and registry-linked identity badges answer different questions. Do not conflate them.
Does a badge mean best-in-class?
No. Badges should communicate specific evidence, not superlatives.
What should an AI Verified badge imply?
Selective public identity packaging / observed eligibility evidence — not government certification or ranking.
