P1 · Verifiable Origin

Presenting Academic & Employment Credentials

Hide grades, courses taken and enrollment history
Prove holds a valid, accredited degree / credential

Prove you hold a degree, qualification, or employment record — without sending the original. Employers and schools verify without seeing the contents; forgery-proof. Aligned with W3C VC 2.0.

01 · WHO IT'S FOR

Who this is for.

For those presenting or verifying academic records, qualifications, and enrollment/graduation in hiring, transfer, and reskilling. Exchanging certificate PDFs or originals carries forgery, tampering, and reuse risk — and tends to over-disclose the individual's data.

  • Universities, education and certification bodies that issue records, completions, qualifications

  • Corporate HR and schools verifying credentials in hiring/transfer

  • Organizations wanting to make reskilling / CPD history provable

02 · THE SHIFT

Hand over the source, or just the facts?

Change what reaches the AI, and the leakage risk goes with it.

↓ only the necessary facts to the AI

Present only a proof that a person "holds a legitimate academic record, qualification, or enrollment." Full transcripts and exam history are not disclosed. Issued with the issuer's (university, certification body) signature, employers and schools verify without seeing the contents. Selective disclosure aligns with W3C VC 2.0 / and connects to standardization efforts like Originator Profile.

Held portably by the individual, there's no need to query the issuer each time it's presented.

03 · HOW TO CHOOSE

Choose on three criteria.

Only work that needs all three at once — pass without exposing, independent verification, tamper-proof — is Lemma's domain.

Method Pass without exposing Independent verification Tamper-proof
Access control only
Masking / anonymization
Encryption only

04 · HOW IT WORKS

What's next

We enter through AI-adoption and data-governance support and a PoC, and stay alongside you through to operations.

  1. A 30-minute review — identify credentials where forgery / query load concentrates.
  2. Narrow to 1–2 decisions (results) to prove — e.g. "holds a legitimate degree," "passed the qualification." Not the full transcript.
  3. Design issuance and standards alignment — issuance paths, alignment with W3C VC 2.0 / BBS+ / OP, and revocation handling.
  4. Prove one path via a (quote-based) PoC.
  5. Hands-on support from rollout through operations — existing plan tiers (Civic / Critical / Compliance) serve only as a cost reference; the setup and pricing are designed together.

Tell us the one credential with the heaviest issuance/verification load, in the first 30 minutes. No disclosure of sensitive data required.
