Alterview. Receipts, not scores.

The Evidence Chip

Every claim in an Alterview carries exactly one evidence level. The chip is the atom of the whole product — it appears in the applicant's checklist, the employer's profile, the shared pack and the PDF. The seal is a moon-phase: how full it is shows how much receipt exists; its colour shows whether that receipt is verified. Tap any chip to read the underlying source.

The ladder — seven levels, most-verified first
Issuer-verified
The issuer confirmed it directly. A credential, licence or record checked against the body that grants it — a certification issuer, a registry, a payroll of record.
Verified
Third-party corroborated
An independent source agrees. A named referee, a co-signer, a second system of record confirms the claim — not the applicant themselves.
Verified
Artifact-backed
There's a document behind it. A repo, a report, a portfolio piece, a dataset — real material the reader can open, but not confirmed by an issuer.
Has basis
Identity-linked
Tied to a verified identity. The applicant's identity is confirmed and the claim is linked to it (location, eligibility, an owned account) — but the claim's substance isn't separately evidenced.
Has basis
Self-attested
The applicant states it. No receipt attached yet. Honest and allowed — it just sits at the bottom of the ladder until evidence is added.
Asserted
Inconsistent
It conflicts with another source. Two receipts disagree — a CV says five years, the linked repo history shows 3.2. Surfaced plainly, never hidden or silently "corrected". The only amber in the system.
Flag
Unresolved
No receipt — yet. Not in the applicant's materials. Rather than invent, the AI says so and offers to carry it into the live interview. See the “no receipt” pattern below.

Why the seal reads instantly — the moon-phase

Fill descends with certainty. A reader learns it once and never re-reads a legend: fuller = more receipt, and green = verified. Amber and the triangle are shaped differently on purpose — inconsistency isn't a lower rung, it's a flag of a different kind.

In a table

Quiet by default — the colour lives in the seal, so a full claims table never becomes a candy box. The label is the level; a source count trails it.

Expanded

One tap reveals the excerpt itself — the actual line from the source, who issued it, and when. Trust comes from the receipt, not our word for it.

The “no receipt” state — first-class, never invented

When a claim isn't in the applicant's materials, the grounded AI does not guess. It says so, in the applicant's voice, and offers to carry the question into the live interview with one tap — turning an unknown into an agenda item instead of a fabrication.

Colour discipline — two reserved hues, nothing else

The rules

Verified-green appears only on the two verified rungs and the identity-verified badge. It is never a button, link, or generic accent — so green always means “checked”.

!

Amber appears only on the inconsistent flag. Nothing else in the product is amber, so amber always means “these receipts disagree”.

Action is ink, never blue. Alterview is a document you trust, not a dashboard — buttons and links are warm ink, not enterprise blue.

Everything else is warm neutral. Artifact/identity/self rungs are ink and muted greys, so the eye reserves its attention for the two colours that carry meaning.

One component, any applicant

The chip is deliberately entity-agnostic — the vocabulary is applicant · claim · evidence, never “candidate”. A person applying for a role and an organisation attaching its Alterview to a grant use the exact same ladder.

Identity-verified badge — distinct from claim chips
Identity verified

Confirms the applicant is who they say — a person or an organisation. It's a rosette, not a moon-seal, so it never reads as one of the seven claim levels. It's the one place the verified-green appears at the top of a profile, and it's what gives the Identity-linked rung its meaning.
