Honesty
Kalenda separates:
| Status | Meaning |
|--------|---------|
| Identity verification | Who the person/entity is |
| Business verification (KYB) | Legal/trading identity and registration where applicable |
| Professional credentials | Licence/registration for regulated professions only |
| Settlement verification | Payout beneficiary and ownership evidence |
| Payment activation | Ability to collect (may differ from directory eligibility) |
A verified identity does not imply verified professional competence. Training certificates are not treated as statutory practising licences.Directory vs payments
Public directory listing requires approved identity and business verification (and credentials where the practice type is regulated). Existing payment pilots may continue collecting under interim operational controls without implying directory “verified professional” status.
Review states
Cases move: DRAFT → SUBMITTED → UNDER_REVIEW → NEEDS_INFORMATION → APPROVED / REJECTED / SUSPENDED. Practitioners cannot approve their own verification. Existing profiles are not auto-verified.
Regulated categories
Where a profession requires a licence, Kalenda records profession, regulator, registration number, scope, verification source/date, reviewer result and review dates. Verification may be manual against official registers; Kalenda does not simulate an automated regulator integration.
