Every Forkaia outcome is issued as a cryptographically signed credential that lives on the open web, shares to LinkedIn in one click, and links back to the actual work you shipped. Built on Open Badges 3.0 — the same standard adopted by Harvard, MIT, IBM, and the U.S. Department of Education.
Below is what a Forkaia member receives the moment a partner company signs off on their work. Cryptographically signed by Forkaia. Verifiable by anyone, anywhere, forever.

No black box. Here's exactly what happens when a Forkaia member completes work and earns a credential — and exactly how a third party verifies it.
A Forkaia member completes a task for a partner company. Deliverables are submitted through the workspace portal with full version history.
A subject-matter expert at the partner company evaluates the work against the task's defined rubric. They sign off — or they don't. No participation trophies.
Forkaia generates an Open Badges 3.0 credential, signs it cryptographically, and gives the member a public verify URL. The deliverable, the rubric, and the reviewer's evaluation are all linked.
An employer, university, or recruiter pastes the credential ID into the public verifier — or scans the QR. They see the full chain: who issued it, who reviewed it, what was shipped. Tampering breaks the signature.
Forkaia issues four kinds of credentials, each earned by clearing a specific evidence bar. Stackable. Portable. Permanent.
Awarded per task. Proof that a specific deliverable was shipped, reviewed, and approved by a partner company expert.
Awarded after 5+ verified tasks in the same skill area (e.g., SQL, copywriting, financial modeling) with a 80+ average reviewer score.
Awarded after completing the full task sequence for a specific role (e.g., "Growth Marketer," "Junior Data Analyst") with reviewer sign-off at each stage.
Awarded only to members with 50+ verified tasks, 90+ average reviewer score, completed work across 5+ partner companies, and a capstone-level evaluation.
Different audiences get different value. The credential is the same — what changes is what they do with it.
Forkaia credentials aren't proprietary. They follow the open standards adopted by universities, governments, and the world's largest credentialing bodies. Your credential is yours forever — even if Forkaia ceases to exist.
Every Forkaia® member earns verifiable credentials from day one. Companies trust them. Universities accept them. Recruiters search for them.
