Verification

How verification works

Serfolio documents the work. The institution decides what counts.

Step 1

Participant joins a project

A participant applies for or claims an opportunity and is accepted by the organization.

Step 2

Scope is defined

The project scope is locked once work begins. Any changes require a formal scope change request approved by both sides.

Step 3

Work occurs through Serfolio

Time is tracked, tasks are completed, and communication happens on-platform. We document the actual work performed.

Step 4

Deliverables are documented

The participant submits deliverables. The organization reviews them and either approves, requests revisions, or declines.

Step 5

Organization reviews completion

The organization confirms the project is complete and verifies the documented hours actually worked.

Step 6

Serfolio generates a verification record

A unique verification record is issued with a public verification ID and QR code for third-party lookup.

Step 7

Third party determines acceptance

The participant shares their record. The school, institution, or organization decides whether it satisfies their requirement.

Documented vs. accepted hours

Serfolio documents the hours a participant worked on a verified project. Whether those hours satisfy a school, scholarship, or licensing requirement is always determined by the receiving institution — not by Serfolio.
