Every badge has a clear meaning, a clear boundary, and a public record that explains the claim.
Useful for people and projects ready to be visible. It tells partners and funders this is a declared direction, not yet an independently reviewed claim.
Useful for learners, hiring teams, and training partners. It confirms education was completed while making clear that practice still needs to be observed.
Useful when a project needs outside confidence in a specific claim. Reviewers looked at evidence, but only for the scope named in the public record.
Useful for teams asking others to trust their way of working. It shows an independent review found the practice credible within a defined scope.
Useful for mature organizations, funders, and communities making higher-stakes decisions. It signals the practice has held up over time and pressure.
Useful for learners choosing a training path. It shows the provider has been reviewed to teach, while certification decisions stay independent.
Useful for leaders choosing implementation help. It shows delivery capability has been reviewed, while client verification remains separate.
Useful for applicants and registry governance. It identifies reviewers authorized to assess evidence and bound by conflict-of-interest rules.
Useful for educators, consultants, and buyers comparing methods. It confirms a framework maps to Teal principles without certifying every user of it.
