You are on The Local Verification. The Local Verification is one surface of The Local Internet. The shared infrastructure beneath it — one application, one record model, every configured surfaces — is the same everywhere. Nothing here is duplicated: every listing is a single row read through a publication.

The Local Verification

How a record earns trust: claims, review and permanent history.

Implemented Claims are approved by a different account from the submitting account. Account separation does not establish independent human review.

Listed, Claimed and Verified

Listed: the record exists. Claimed: an owner's claim was approved. Verified: a reviewer account confirmed the record's facts. Each status is separate, and one never implies the next.

Claim submission and review

An owner submits a claim or verification request. A different account reviews it and records a decision. Nobody approves their own submission.

Verification status and history

Each record shows its current status. Every decision is kept permanently as history; a later decision adds to that history rather than replacing it.

Account separation vs. independent human review

The system enforces that the approving account differs from the submitting account. That does not by itself prove two different people reviewed it; independent human review is established only when separate people operate those accounts.

Verification is not publication eligibility

Verification says facts about a record were checked. Whether the record appears on a destination is a separate decision, made by separate approvals. A verified record is not automatically published.

Shared Local Core infrastructure

Verification is a view of The Local Core's shared registry and its decision history. This site owns no records or decisions of its own.

verified business records (account-separated review)

Claims, evidence and reviewer decisions are private and are never shown. Only the resulting Verified, Claimed or Listed label is public.

Limitations

  • Claims, evidence and reviewer identities are private and never shown.
  • Account separation does not establish independent human reviewers.
