ProcessHow Datapoint helps
A defined path from decision to evidence.
Datapoint shapes each request around the role or credential in question, the level of learner contact or trust involved and the institution's own appointment or admissions policy.
Checks on applicants, staff, students and members are consent-led. The purpose and scope are explained before personal verification proceeds.
- 01
Define the role or credential
Set the checks the appointment, level of access or admission requires under institutional policy.
- 02
Obtain consent
The applicant, staff member or student is informed of the purpose and scope and gives consent before checks begin.
- 03
Verify with institutions and sources
Qualifications, registration, employment and references are checked with issuing institutions, employers and referees where they respond.
- 04
Review and record the outcome
Each claim is marked verified, declined or inconclusive, and the report is filed with the appointment or admission record.
VerificationEvidence layers & outputs
Connect relevant evidence. Understand the outcome.
Datapoint combines staff screening with credential confirmation. Results are returned per person or credential and can be tracked across an appointment or intake cycle.
