Who operates KROG — and what “verified” actually means.
KROG structures professional competence and makes evidence checkable. That only works if it is clear who runs the platform, who issues credentials, and where a claim ends and a checked fact begins.

Who issues KROG credentials
Every KROG credential is issued by, and identifies, the same entity that operates the platform:

What “verified” means — and does not mean
A profile on KROG can hold competence on four different grounds. They are always shown distinctly, never blurred together.
- Self-reported
- The person stated the competence themselves. Nobody has checked it.
- Evidence provided
- The person attached work or references. The material has not been assessed yet.
- Verified
- The evidence was assessed against criteria by someone other than the person.
- KROG credential
- The competence was established through a passed assessment and attested by an issuer.
Self-reported competence is never described as verified — not in search, not in matches, not on cards.
The platform and regulated services are not the same thing
KROG operates a platform. Regulated legal services are delivered by lawyers admitted in their own jurisdiction, on their own responsibility.
KROG provides
- Structure for competence, evidence and credentials
- A directory and matching against described needs
- Records infrastructure and APIs
KROG does not provide
- Legal advice through the platform
- Responsibility for work performed by a lawyer you find here
- Admission or licensing of any profession
