Trust & Standards

What "Verified on the Dais" actually means.

Every badge on this site is earned, not assumed. Here's exactly what we check before a profile goes live — and what keeps an applicant off the directory.

Identity & credentials check

We confirm the applicant is who they say they are, and that the professional credentials, titles, and organisations listed are real and current — cross-checked against LinkedIn and other public professional records.

Public speaking & expertise history

We look for a genuine, demonstrable track record in the topics an applicant wants to be found for — prior talks, publications, media appearances, or documented subject-matter work. Expertise claims aren't taken on the applicant's word alone.

Public presence check

We verify the applicant has an active, consistent public professional presence (LinkedIn, published work, an organisational bio, press mentions, or similar) that corroborates their profile.

Manual human review

Every single application is reviewed by our team before publishing — nothing is auto-approved. If anything looks inconsistent or unverifiable, we follow up with the applicant directly before making a call.

What keeps a profile off the Dais

Credentials, titles, or affiliations we can't independently corroborate
No demonstrable public track record in the claimed area of expertise
No verifiable public professional presence (LinkedIn, published work, press, etc.)
Incomplete or inconsistent application information that isn't resolved on follow-up
