For universities and employers

You do not have to trust an issuer or a brand. You decide how much evidence you require and from whom, then run the published function.

• A policy states, for example: at least three attestors, one live sitting, evidence no older than two years, attestors with at least five sittings.
• The same evidence can give different levels under different policies; both results can be explained. See the worked example and try other policies in the explainer.
• Sanad is not accreditation. It does not tell you what to accept and gives no legal recognition. Degrees remain what states and institutions say they are.
• Matching or ranking applicants with software can be regulated as high-risk in the European Union; the specification forbids a score of a person across skills.

Next step: write down the policy you would use for one role or course and run it on the sample credential with the reference verifier.
