Evaluation integrity

Trust should be explainable.

Work Being Evaluation is designed to make client experience evidence more useful than a pasted testimonial — while being explicit about what the evidence does and does not prove.

Evaluation-linkedA profile can display published evidence collected through the Work Being Evaluation flow.
1 · Collection

Evaluation evidence should originate outside the profile editor.

Professionals do not type testimonials directly into MyProfile and label them as Work Being Evaluations. Public evaluation content comes from the separate evaluation flow.

StructuredThe evaluation uses a defined question and rating structure.
LinkedThe evaluation is associated with the relevant professional profile.
PermissionedPublic display depends on explicit publication consent.
2 · Initial evidence

A permanent maximum of 10 retrospective evaluations.

New professionals may invite previous clients to evaluate work that took place before they joined the platform. This is useful for establishing an initial evidence base, but retrospective selection introduces methodological limitations.

Platform ruleNo professional can collect retrospective evaluation #11. Upgrading cannot change this limit.
3 · Ongoing evidence

Evaluation #11 onward is prospective.

Once the retrospective allowance is exhausted, new evaluations must relate to work carried out in the prospective collection period. Pro unlocks prospective collection up to 50 total evaluations; a higher-volume tier begins above 50.

The prospective pathway is structurally separated from the initial retrospective allowance. Detailed engagement-verification controls remain a separate integrity layer before open-market launch.

4 · Public display

Not every submitted evaluation must become public.

Publication is a separate permission. MyProfile should only display content that satisfies the applicable Work Being publication and consent rules. Therapy profiles require a more privacy-conscious public presentation than consulting profiles.

5 · Interpretation

Evidence, not certification.

Overall ratingSummarises submitted ratings that qualify for public display.
Evaluation countShows the quantity of published evaluation evidence associated with the professional.
Recurring descriptorsSummarise structured qualities clients repeatedly selected.
Focus-area evidenceShows where evaluations relate to a given focus area. It is not a competence score.
6 · Boundaries

What Evaluation does not prove.

  • It does not certify that a professional is objectively “better” than another professional.
  • It does not replace credential or licence verification.
  • It does not establish treatment efficacy or clinical outcome.
  • It does not make a paid subscription a stronger trust signal.
  • It does not remove selection bias, recall bias or context differences between engagements.

These boundaries should remain visible in the product so that trust grows through transparency rather than inflated claims.
