Satoshium Certification Standard
The Satoshium Certification Standard defines the canonical certification rule layer used across the Satoshium Suite.
Certifier implements this standard. Registry stores records produced under it. Anchor preserves evidence related to it. Beacon discovers results derived from it. Attestor supports claims connected to it. Navigator queries records structured by it.
Certification Workflow
Defines the operational path used to collect evidence, validate records, evaluate claims, make determinations, issue certificates, and publish verifiable results.
MethodologyEvaluation Criteria
Defines the criteria used to evaluate certification subjects, including accuracy, completeness, authenticity, integrity, timeliness, authority, transparency, and risk.
MethodologyEvidence Requirements
Defines the evidence expectations that support certification determinations, including minimum evidence, recommended evidence, disallowed evidence, and chain-of-custody concerns.
MethodologyCertification Logic
Defines the decision rules used to determine whether a certification is eligible, conditional, denied, suspended, revoked, expired, or preserved as a historical record.
MethodologyCertification Schema
Defines the machine-readable structure of certification records so Suite tools can produce, store, preserve, verify, discover, and query certification data consistently.
MethodologyScoring Standard
Defines how certification scores are calculated, bounded, explained, and connected to reviewable evidence without replacing the underlying record.
CoreTrust Standard
Defines how trust signals are recognized, limited, interpreted, and communicated in public certification records and verification surfaces.
CoreGovernance Standard
Defines how the Certification Standard is maintained, changed, versioned, deprecated, superseded, and preserved over time.
InstitutionalStandard Role
The Certification Standard is not a single application page. It is a Suite-wide rule layer that allows multiple tools to participate in one consistent certification system.
Certifier is the reference implementation. The standard is the protocol.
