A résumé is a stack of claims with no receipts.
Half of them are now written by a machine.
Everyone reading knows it.
So the reader trusts nothing, and the honest candidate pays for it.
A record is different. It has dates. It has sources. It can be asked.

PROVENANCE

We never say verified.

traceable
Follows to a dated entry, usually with an artifact. The only place green appears.
attested
A named party confirmed one narrow fact, on a date. Nothing wider is implied.
self-reported
The candidate’s own account. It earns no colour, and no apology.

CROSSING INTO THE INSTRUMENT REGISTER
VIVAPANEL

The other side of the table writes into the same record.

Interviewers capture notes as they hear them, timestamped, linked to the entry they refer to. Every read and every note is visible to the candidate — it is their record. No scores, no ranking, no comparison — shared memory instead of judgment.
