Identity verification must be accepted before start
Authentication and an accepted identity-verification record are required before official certification can start. Neither a purchase nor a provider return starts certification on its own.
Certification safeguards
Verified participation. Controlled evidence. Bounded review.
Official certification is different from the Quick Test: it requires an authenticated candidate, accepted identity verification, and complete integrity, evaluation, and review evidence before a normal official result.
Official work uses controlled conditions
Official work is subject to controlled-environment and integrity conditions. An interruption or individual signal is evidence to handle, not automatic proof of misconduct or an automatic result.
Candidate work is handled through private boundaries
Responses and submitted files use authenticated, backend-owned boundaries, and admitted files use private storage. This Public page reads no candidate response, file, identity, or integrity record.
Evaluation is authorized and bounded
Selected AI evaluators may process the assessment evidence needed to evaluate the work. Public visitors do not receive candidate evidence, evaluator output, or operational detail.
Exception review
A required safeguard cannot be skipped.
Integrity, evaluation, and required review evidence must be complete before a normal official result can be consolidated.
Signals are not verdicts
An integrity signal or interruption does not by itself establish misconduct, award a score, or decide the result. That evidence is handled under the applicable integrity and review rules.
Reviewer access is case-bound
When an official exception requires human judgment, only the authorized assignee of the active review case may read its bounded decision basis.
Unresolved review never becomes a pass
Required review must finish before result consolidation. Completed review evidence can clear the review requirement or lead to a withheld or invalidated result; review itself does not award a pass, score, level, or credential or promise when a result will be ready.
