Certification Workflow
The Certification Workflow defines the operational sequence used to perform certification activities consistently, transparently, and repeatably across the Satoshium Suite.
Where the Certification Lifecycle describes the stages of a certification, the Workflow describes the work performed within those stages.
Validation
Verify completeness, required fields, identity, eligibility, and conformance with the selected certification standard.
Evidence Processing
Collect, organize, classify, reference, and prepare evidence for formal evaluation.
Evaluation
Apply evaluation criteria, scoring methodology, trust requirements, and certification logic to the submitted evidence.
Decision
Determine the appropriate certification outcome based upon documented standards and repeatable methodology.
Record Generation
Create structured certification records, metadata, verification identifiers, and supporting documentation.
Publication
Publish approved certifications to the appropriate Satoshium repositories, registries, and discovery services.
Ongoing Maintenance
Monitor certifications for renewal, correction, suspension, revocation, expiration, or archival.
Methodology Role
The Certification Workflow transforms standards into operational practice. It defines the repeatable sequence of actions required to evaluate, issue, maintain, and preserve certifications throughout the Satoshium Suite.
A lifecycle defines when certification stages occur. A workflow defines how work is performed within those stages.
