Living credential

this program's credentialing mechanism, which does not assert competence purely on the strength of a passed assessment; instead it points a verifier to the learner's actual dossier, board response log, viva transcript, and judgment ledger, so competence can be independently checked against real evidence.

The verifiable credential this program awards, which does not assert knowledge but opens the learner's dossier so an employer can inspect real, defended artifacts. Its value is the inspectable evidence behind it, which is why every artifact must stay nameable and inspectable from the day it is made.

GAGE's employer-queryable proof-of-learning model, in which a completed capstone becomes concrete, inspectable evidence (a real mock filing, a real gap analysis) rather than a test score alone, allowing a prospective employer or client to verify what was actually built.

A signed, employer-queryable credential page (the /verify link, opened by the QR seal) showing which topics were passed and always displaying current verified progress; only the issuer can mint a code whose signature validates there.

The verifiable, employer- or client-queryable record of what a learner actually did in the program, made real by the artifacts accumulating in their workspace. Introduced fully in Topic 0.3.
