Verified by Sophia
The market’s seal that a real gatekeeper stands behind this name.
It is not bought. It is conferred, and it can be withdrawn.
The standard behind the mark
Four articles. All in force, or the mark comes down.
Every credential can be checked in seconds
A mark is only as good as the way it's verified. This one resolves, publicly, live.
Every holder has an entry in the registry that reads the live verification record, who they are, what the mark certifies, and since when it has been in force. Anyone can visit it. No account, no request.
The badge and the registry read the same record. If a credential is withdrawn, the entry says so and the mark stops resolving, everywhere it was ever placed. It cannot be faked, borrowed, or quietly kept after the standard lapses.
Twenty-five seats. Hand-picked.
Verified by Sophia opens with the Founding 50, principals selected one at a time, each reviewed by a person. After the twenty-fifth seat, a waitlist.
If the bar sounds like yours,
apply for it.
A short application, reviewed by a person. There is no checkout and no self-serve, if it were easy to get, it wouldn’t be worth carrying.
