Evidence Review

Strategic language is checked against the evidence available for the project, the role target, and the client's ability to explain it.

Client Evidence + Source Context + Ownership Check

We use sources such as O*NET, BLS, target-role postings, industry sources, and client-provided proof when they are relevant to the purchased scope.

Defensibility Review

We review strategic claims for integrity, ownership, and fit with the role target before final delivery:

  • Integrity: The claim traces back to genuine experience
  • Ownership: The client can explain and support the claim
  • Relevance: The language fits the target role and scope
  • Boundary: Unsupported facts, credentials, or outcomes are not invented

Research Sources We Use

Strategic language is checked against authoritative, government, and industry sources when they are relevant to the approved scope:

O*NET
Occupational data
BLS OEWS
Wage data
Lightcast
