Know what is covered—and how deeply.
Academic · Employment · Professional
Bonafide separates broad issuer/employer directory coverage from trusted year-by-year forensic reference coverage. Directory intelligence can expand quickly; forensic profiles require genuine provenance, versioning and human approval.
Purpose-built verification capabilities.
Each capability is a visible part of the verification workflow—not a hidden AI score.
Academic credentials
Board certificates, semester/consolidated marksheets, provisional/final degrees, transcripts, migration certificates, diplomas and selected test credentials.
Employment credentials
Experience letters, relieving letters, employment confirmations, offer/appointment letters and employer records.
Professional credentials
Licences, registrations and regulator certificates where a lawful official verification route exists.
India Wave 1
UGC/DEB foundation, Central/State/Private/Deemed categories, CBSE/CISCE and high-volume State Boards.
Deep academic Wave 2
20–30 high-volume universities targeted for deeper document-profile coverage during pilot development.
Demand-first long tail
Long-tail institutions/employers expand with customer volume while route/directory coverage grows broadly.
Coverage must never be overstated.
A university can be present in the directory without having every document/year/version mapped for forensics. The UI and API should distinguish those two coverage levels so customers know whether the case is source-verifiable, profile-supported or manual-review dependent.
- Pilot scope includes selected employers with reliable official verification routes
- 5,000–10,000 controlled genuine/manipulated/unknown/legacy/synthetic examples are a benchmark-corpus target—not public production volume
- No broad public accuracy claim until controlled benchmark and institution pilot pass
- International Market 2 is selected from real partner document volume rather than chosen arbitrarily
Can grow quickly with provenance validation.
Grows progressively through genuine provenance and approval.
Unmapped/new/legacy documents can route to source or manual verification.
From input to defensible evidence.
Bonafide follows the strongest available verification route and resumes only the affected lane when new evidence arrives.
One evidence model. Role-specific operations.
The same underlying case can be viewed differently by institutions, employers, reviewers, operations and candidates.

Product/engineering
Keep coverage claims tied to evidence
Unknown ≠ fake.
Unmapped issuer, new template, legacy document or unavailable source must route to uncertainty/manual verification rather than an automatic accusation.
