Verification spectrum · L2
L2 verification, what it means.
L2 Cross-referenced means a claim has been corroborated against a public source outside the provider's control.
Evidence required
- Customer-logo verification against the customer's own site
- Testimonial verification against LinkedIn employment + press
- Project mention verification against partner directories or conference talks
Decay rule
Cross-references are designed to be re-checked annually, broken sources move the affected claim back toward L1 until refreshed. The automated re-check job is scheduled behind evidence-URL liveness (R2-evidence-liveness); until it lands, corrections are manual via the record-revision flow.
Examples
A claimed customer logo appears in a verifiable press release on the customer's site dated within the engagement window.
