TRUST THE DETAIL.
CHECK THE SCOPE.

Do not collapse these into one universal Verified tick. Show the specific assertion: identity checked, certificate registry checked, QC evidence reviewed, sampled site audit completed or buyer-confirmed outcome.

Membership affects promotion and services only. Review eligibility, reviewer independence, acceptance criteria, adverse findings, expiry and appeal apply equally to free and paid profiles. Any separately commissioned human assessment must quote work effort without promising a pass.

Each result names the legal organisation, site, process or product variant, method version, exact evidence versions, reviewer, review date, valid-until date and exclusions. Organisation management-system evidence does not automatically verify every product or job.

A supplier without an ISO certificate can submit its own production and QC procedure, sampling records, equipment checks, proof-release controls, traceability, complaints and corrective-action evidence. A reviewer can assess this published Graphic Accord protocol without calling it ISO certification or ISO conformity.

Record standard number, edition, issuer, certificate reference, sites, scope and registry result as separate fields. Check scope and validity; an uploaded certificate alone is a declaration. Do not revoke a transitional certificate just because a new standard edition exists; obtain the issuing body's applicable transition decision.

Document-only review is explicitly desk-based. An on-site audit requires actual reviewer attendance, sampled records, competence, independence and a signed report. Automated completeness checks may assist triage but cannot establish physical process quality or accredited status.

Use a server-owned decision log. Expiry removes current display eligibility. A serious new finding can suspend a claim pending review; revocation includes a reason and public status history without exposing confidential evidence. Independent appeal and correction routes must exist.

The owner explicitly grants selected environmental evidence and a named review purpose to Leaf's review lane, with expiry and revocation. Graphic Accord receives only the permitted finding and evidence references. Quality/rework/cost verification stays Graphic Accord's responsibility; neither brand inherits a whole-company endorsement.

Private buyer spend, quotes, invoices, supplier prices and margins remain object-scoped. Public case studies require explicit publication permission from relevant rights holders. A derived aggregate requires disclosure-risk assessment; deleting names is insufficient.

Publish sample count, period, denominator, exclusions and evidence level alongside any first-time acceptance, on-time, rework-cost or repeat-use metric. Savings compare like-for-like frozen scope, currency, tax basis and period; selected baseline and actuals are separate from estimates. Buyer confirmation is not an accredited performance guarantee.

Use Advertisement or Advertisement feature prominently. Paid placement does not change organic price, quality or supplier-fit order. A decorated profile is a storefront, not a reviewed supplier award.

A green claim requires exact boundary and supporting evidence; certificate and scheme logos require permission. Public badges link to status details and a stable verification reference, and cannot be self-issued by profile editing, import or payment.
