Document authenticity confidence
Forensic/template/logical consistency.
Verification Methodology
Defensible decisions. Minimum evidence.
Source-first · Separate confidence · Human gates
Bonafide is designed to answer what the evidence supports, not to produce a single “AI fake score.” Source confirmation, document consistency, regulatory status, identity consistency, channel trust and input quality remain separate dimensions.

WHAT BONAFIDE DOES
Purpose-built verification capabilities.
Each capability is a visible part of the verification workflow—not a hidden AI score.
Source verification confidence
Strength of authoritative source confirmation.
Regulatory confidence
Quality of recognition/status evidence.
Identity consistency confidence
Cross-document identity evidence.
Channel trust confidence
Trustworthiness of the verification response channel.
Quality confidence
Whether scan/input quality supports the claimed analysis.
EVIDENCE MODEL
Customer-facing states stay explicit.
The state machine can return AUTHORITY_VERIFIED, CRYPTOGRAPHICALLY_VERIFIED, HIGHLY_CONSISTENT, ADDITIONAL_EVIDENCE_REQUIRED, MANUAL_VERIFICATION_REQUIRED, POTENTIAL_MATERIAL_DISCREPANCY or UNABLE_TO_DETERMINE. MATERIAL_DISCREPANCY_CONFIRMED is gated by the required human-review policy.
- Minimum evidence first: ask only for the item needed to reach a defensible result
- Immutable originals: derivatives never replace raw evidence
- Temporal truth: evaluate university/company/regulatory status for the relevant historical period
- Provenance everywhere: contacts, templates, regulatory records and manual confirmations carry source class/timestamp/confidence
- Do not overclaim: the product supplies evidence and verification states, not the customer’s admission/hiring/visa decision

WORKFLOW
From input to defensible evidence.
Bonafide follows the strongest available verification route and resumes only the affected lane when new evidence arrives.

DESIGNED FOR
One evidence model. Role-specific operations.
The same underlying case can be viewed differently by institutions, employers, reviewers, operations and candidates.
Reviewers
Explain why a result exists
Enterprise customers
Configure policy without bypassing safety rules
Candidates
See evidence states rather than accusations
DECISION DISCIPLINE
Unknown ≠ fake.
Unmapped issuer, new template, legacy document or unavailable source must route to uncertainty/manual verification rather than an automatic accusation.
