The Check Engine

One engine for every decision

checkPADI shows verified evidence and risk signals so you can decide with confidence. It reports provenance — not verdicts about people — and never guarantees an outcome.

01

Submit what you want to check

Tell checkPADI who or what you are checking — a person, business, professional, food vendor, document, product, or report.

02

We collect the available signals

checkPADI gathers the evidence and records available for that subject — provenance, credentials, reviews, reports, and history.

03

You get a clear, explainable result

Results show a verdict, a risk level, a confidence rating, the reasons behind them, and source-labelled evidence — never a bare score.

04

When evidence is missing, we say so

If the evidence is unavailable, checkPADI tells you honestly. It never fabricates a result and never guesses to fill a gap.

05

Private checks may require consent

Personal and identity checks are consent-first. Some checks ask the subject to agree before any private evidence is shared.

Supported check areas

Sixteen categories, one consistent, evidence-based result format across every check.

Fairness by Design

How checkPADI protects fairness

These are not marketing promises — they are the rules the platform is built on. checkPADI reports provenance and risk, and refuses to overclaim.

Consent required for private checks

Personal and identity checks are consent-first. Private evidence is never shared without the subject agreeing.

A complaint is not proof

A complaint or report is never treated as proven until it has been reviewed and verified with evidence.

Community reports are signals

Community reports are treated as risk signals — flagged for review, not published as confirmed facts.

Paid plans do not buy verification

A subscription or payment never verifies anyone. Badges are earned through evidence, not purchased.

A face match does not reveal identity

Identity lookups are consent-gated. A face match alone never exposes who someone is without their consent.

TrustScore is advisory and explainable

TrustScore is a decision aid, not a verdict. Every score comes with the reasons behind it.

Private profiles stay private

Private profiles never appear in the public directory or in embeddable widgets.

Platform Capabilities

One engine, built for real decisions

These are what checkPADI can do — capabilities, not adoption claims. We do not publish fabricated user or customer numbers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions

Everything you need to know about how checkPADI works.

checkPADI is a decision-confidence engine. You tell it what you want to check — a person, business, professional, food vendor, document, product or report — and it shows the available evidence and risk signals: a verdict, a risk level, a confidence rating, the reasons behind them, and source-labelled evidence. It reports provenance, not verdicts about people, and it does not guarantee outcomes.
