Vetting is a calibration procedure, not a gut check.
Every engineer on the roster runs through the same four-step calibration — and again every quarter after placement.
The record
The output of the procedure is a verification record — certifications, background check, and references on one sheet. Provided once engagement is underway. Shown here as a redacted specimen.

Quick answers
The three questions asked most about verification. The complete set is catalogued on the FAQ page.
When do I see the record?
Once engagement is underway. That timing is a published standard (STD/03 — record under engagement), not a per-deal negotiation.
Are certifications self-reported?
No. Primary-source checks against the issuing body are required before roster eligibility.
What about background checks?
Criminal background check, employment verification, and a drug test complete before roster eligibility — documented on Security & Data.
