Inside pk/makers verification: what reviewers actually look for.

A behind-the-scenes look at the human review process behind every green checkmark on the platform.

Every application passes through at least one human reviewer — there is no fully automated approval path, by design.

Reviewers check for consistency between claimed experience, portfolio evidence, and any references provided, flagging mismatches for a follow-up conversation rather than an outright rejection.

The goal isn't gatekeeping for its own sake — it's making sure every green checkmark on the platform means something real to the client on the other side.
