Structured credentials with a review behind them, so a badge means somebody checked rather than somebody typed.
A supplier files a claim with the issuer, reference number and evidence; a platform operator decides it. Until then it is visible only to the supplier. The database enforces this rather than the interface: the role a supplier holds has no ability to write the review outcome at all.
Whether a credential is live is derived from its status and expiry every time it is read, so it stops counting the instant it lapses. A nightly job would leave a window in which the directory asserts a dead certificate, and that window is exactly when it matters.
Changing the number, the issuer, the evidence or the expiry of a verified credential returns it to claimed. Otherwise a supplier passes review with a real certificate and then edits it while keeping the badge.
A searchable directory of companies, ranked on evidence and filterable down to the parts they actually make.
