Tsdiq Stars
An ongoing achievement level a business or contributor reaches by meeting objective criteria. A Star is not a customer rating, not the Trust Score, and not a GroundTruth tier.
Recognition on Tsdiq
Recognition is earned or awarded against a rule. It is never purchased, and it can always be checked.
Tsdiq Awards
Issued for a specific achievement or a defined period. An Award always names what it was issued for and when it stops applying.
Plaques and certificates
Physical or digital material that displays a recognition. The material never carries the status — the reference printed on it does, and that reference resolves to a live Tsdiq record.
Three classifications, never blurred
Earned
Awarded because objective criteria were satisfied.
Awarded
Granted by Tsdiq against a defined rule.
Purchased
A product or material. Buying it never creates trust, verification or reputation.
Anyone can check it
Every recognition has a reference. Scan the Tsdiq code or type the reference and the live record shows whether the status is active, expired or revoked. A Tsdiq code can be re-pointed without reprinting, and it can never leave Tsdiq.
Withdrawal stays visible
If a recognition is withdrawn, the reference does not disappear — it reports as revoked. A plaque on a wall is not evidence of a current Tsdiq status.
