Trust signals both sides can read
Badge, tier, completed gigs, escrow, and a brief that names the usage. Each one answers a different fear.
Creators look for the verified brand badge because a company name is cheap to type. Brands look for a live creator, a tier that came from finished work, and at least one verified clip. Neither signal replaces the brief. Together they remove the obvious frauds.
Escrow answers the payment fear. The badge answers the identity fear. The usage line answers the 'what will you do with my face' fear. If a page on the platform is missing one of those, it is not done.
We do not invent extra badges for appearance. A badge that does not check anything trains people to ignore badges. The ones here are tied to a review, a completed gig, or money that actually moved.
