Everything on RPF carries a label that says how much checking has happened — from a computed first draft to an institution putting its name behind it. Here is the whole story, once, without jargon.
The platform computes a starting point automatically from building blocks already in the catalogue — for example, every published role generates an indicative flow. Nobody has reviewed this view; it is a helpful sketch, not advice.
For you: a fast orientation, free to explore.
An editor has shaped the content by hand, and forward-looking claims cite the standard or guide they come from. No panel has reviewed it yet, so this is craft and sourcing rather than consensus.
For you: citable content you can already put to work.
Invited practitioners — a verification panel — voted on the content relationship by relationship. The outcome is a permanent, tamper-evident public record anyone can open and inspect.
For you: the industry has checked the work — and you can see exactly when and how.
A professional body has formally recorded that the content meets its standard. Recognition badges always name the body, so the endorsement is attributable — never anonymous.
For you: an institution stands behind it — the strongest signal RPF carries.
Published is a different thing from Authored, and both words appear in the product. Authored is a maturity rung: how far a piece of content has been worked. Published is a visibility state: whether the content is visible outside its organisation. A role can be published without being authored to this bar, and authored content can stay unpublished. Published, Verified and Recognised are separate facts, not steps on one ladder.
The system drafts. Editors publish with sources. Panels of practitioners verify. Professional bodies recognise. Each step is taken by a different hand — that separation is what makes the labels worth trusting.
The boundary, stated plainly: RPF defines and carries the standard, and emits unsigned credential templates. Your assessment partner measures against it; your body issues and signs the credential. RPF never assesses individuals and never holds learner records.
