Projects, proof & credentials
Evidence first. Claims second.
Projects, review records, and credentials are designed to make the learner’s capability, evidence, limits, and verification status understandable.
The proof standard
Four layers behind a credible capability claim.
Defined criteria
Every claim starts with clear capability criteria, expected evidence, and responsible-use boundaries.
Visible work
Projects retain artifacts, versions, sources, tests, feedback, limitations, and learner explanation.
Human review
Authorized educators review the work and remain responsible for grades, completion, and credential decisions.
Verifiable record
Issued credentials connect to an authentic record, scope, status, criteria, and permitted evidence.
A public Labs subscription does not create Academy evidence, assessment, review, completion, or credential status by default. Only activity required by an active Academy Program and submitted through the Academy’s authorized evidence process can contribute to an Academy decision.
Projects, proof & credentials
A credential should show what the learner can actually do.
Credential claims connect to defined criteria, human review, responsible-use requirements, evidence, verification status, and a public or permissioned record.

Credential verification
Check the record—not only the badge.
Credential verification is available only when an authoritative issued record can return its scope, status, criteria, issue details, and permitted evidence.
