The Credibility Index
The Credibility Index provides an explainable platform that verifies professional claims against online public sources, categorizing findings as confirmed, conflicting, or unconfirmed while binding each claim to the correct person, role, and time period. The system explicitly distinguishes missing information from negative findings and supports candidate-authorized reviews with dispute capabilities for hiring and leadership evaluations.

Problem
Professional profiles are self-authored, resumes are self-reported, and websites get outdated, making it difficult to trust the professional story presented. Search results can mix people together, and AI can confidently summarize information that belongs to the wrong person, role, company, or point in time. In a study of 50 governors, 57% of the information reviewed could not be reliably tied back to the right person, office, and time.
Solution
The Credibility Index provides a clear, explainable way to check professional statements against online public sources. The platform categorizes findings as confirmed, conflicting, or unconfirmed, connecting each claim to the right person, role, and point in time. It explicitly distinguishes missing information from negative findings, stating when the public record is not strong enough to support a conclusion. For hiring and leadership evaluation, the person being checked authorizes the review and can see and dispute what was found. The system draws on data the candidate supplies directly and on public evidence the index can independently re-fetch and bind to that candidate.
Target Audience
Primary users are organizations making consequential decisions about people, including hiring and leadership evaluation, professional due diligence, partner and vendor selection, and advisor, investor, and network relationships.
