Assurance levels

Every fact on every surface carries the level the evidence earned. Nothing is raised by being signed, displayed, or paid for.

observed→self-attested→verified→certified

Observed

NeuralRing saw a request go to an endpoint — through its gateway or through a witness in your client. An observation says that a line exists; it says nothing about the line's facts.

Self-attested

The provider states a fact about itself — its entity, its parent, where it runs. NeuralRing records the claim, with its source and date, and says it is a claim.

Verified

NeuralRing checked the claim against a company registry, a documented page, or a live probe, and stored the evidence. A documentary fact stays a documentary fact.

Certified

Backed by a live third-party certification with a reference NeuralRing can re-check. Only this level is painted in the certified colour, and only while the reference is valid.

A higher level is never inferred. A fact that cannot be checked stays where the evidence leaves it.
