Registry status definitions

FAIR status describes the state of a public registry profile and its recorded process. It is not proof of competence, licensing, assignment fit, report quality, or institutional acceptance.

  • Draft: the record is not an eligible public candidate profile.
  • Listed: a source-labeled public record; authorized owner control and FAIR verification are not implied.
  • Claimed: the profile owner has authenticated and can maintain the record; competence and assignment fit are not implied.
  • Verified: FAIR completed the published profile checks at a point in time; this is a profile-process signal, not competence certification.
  • Removed: the listing is no longer an eligible public candidate profile and follows the published route-retirement and correction contract.
Selection boundary

Status is necessary context, not a recommendation. Confirm object category, service area, intended use, inspection method, availability, fee terms, qualifications, and relying-party requirements directly before engagement.
