What Happens Next
1
Human review. A KA validator will cross-reference your self-reported signals against public records within 5–7 business days. Any discrepancies will be flagged for your review before publication.
2
Peer nomination. You'll be invited to nominate 2 colleagues in your domain who can independently attest to your expertise level. Optional, but it elevates your verification tier.
3
Profile publication. Once verified, your KA badge becomes portable and embeddable — attach it to articles, bios, presentations, and social profiles.
4
Perennial refresh. Your profile prompts a lightweight annual re-assessment to capture new contributions. Credibility here is a living record, not a one-time stamp.
