Boilerplate
Short (one sentence)
ArcProof is a skill verification platform operated by SkillUpArc LLC. It assesses capability through performance-based tasks and issues credentials whose meaning is grounded in an evidence trail rather than course completion.
Long (one paragraph)
ArcProof, operated by SkillUpArc LLC, is a skill verification platform built on the premise that completion-based credentials no longer carry a reliable signal in an AI-mediated labor market. Instead of certifying that instruction was consumed, ArcProof defines the capability being claimed, elicits evidence of it through performance-based tasks, scores that evidence against fixed criterion-referenced rubrics, and treats the credential's predictive relationship to employment outcomes as an empirical claim to be validated over time. The methodology is published openly as The ArcProof Verification Framework™, authored by the ArcProof Research Institute, a research initiative of SkillUpArc LLC.

What we will and will not claim
- We claim that ArcProof credentials are verifiable — that the assessed performance genuinely occurred and is recorded with a tamper-evident trail.
- We do not yet claim established predictive validity. Stage 4 of the framework requires longitudinal outcome data; that evidence accrues over time and is reported with its limits.
- We do not claim accreditation, government endorsement, or eligibility determinations for federal or state programmes. ArcProof supports outcomes documentation; it does not determine compliance.
