Most verification systems show a green checkmark before the data they’re “verifying” actually exists.
That’s not a UI bug — it’s a trust failure.
In VEOS, I enforced a simple rule: proof is never issued until storage is confirmed durable. No receipt. No proof. No polite lies.
I recently wrote about why refusing early is more trustworthy than succeeding fast. Curious how others here handle durability vs UX in verification systems.
