Verification Policy

Verification is performed per category (business, documents, facility, product, certification, traceability, etc.), each with its own status. One verified item does not verify an entire business.

SMT never auto-verifies; a status becomes Verified only after an explicit reviewer decision. Verification does not guarantee product quality, commercial performance, regulatory compliance, or successful completion of a transaction.

Badges are removed immediately when a status is suspended or revoked.
