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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
