More Trust & More Transactions
Instead of surrender of a single private document, people securely anchor a variety of public things other people already know them by. Confidence is pre-existing history —audience, collaborators, and friends.
Better Than A Badge
A Credible profile is same as ID, but people typically boost this report to Reliable or even Genuine. If being Credible is good, being more so must be better.
Fraud can’t scale when every claim increases visibility. Fraudsters struggle to be labeled Cautioned and fall to Dangerous as they abandon a fruitless effort. Properties cannot be reused, so they are now forfeited and lost.
The safety effect is automatic—members make it work; fraudsters move on to less trusted platforms.

Trust as a Service; A Simple API
With every API request, trust rises and more value is generated — this makes trust events revenue generating, not a cost center. Platforms implement this simple API as an alternative to authority-driven solutions. Trust signals appear immediately. People who verify rise; those who avoid stand out.
| Metric | Authority-Driven | Community-Driven |
|---|---|---|
| ROI | low adoption, high cost | trust events raise LTV/CTV with each interaction |
| Experience | invalid rejections and disputes | members make it work |
| Onboarding | friction | immediate access to credibility |
| Safety & Risk | privacy violations | responsibility returns to the individual |
| Privacy & Trust | invasive | people verify things others already known them by |
| Operation | resolving flags and disputes | automatic, continuous and community-driven |
| Brand Integrity | feels like surveillance | offering privacy shows respect |

Members anchor things other people already know them by. The effect is immediate and community-wide — avoiding this benefit is clear as having it.
