Automated pre-check is not source authentication
The platform can automatically validate file integrity, format and evidence completeness; identity or qualification authenticity may still require human review or an external verification provider.
02
Automatic appointment, controlled access
Clean applications are targeted for automated screening within one business day. The exam appointment is created only after eligibility is confirmed, and access remains gated by payment, assessment-package readiness and the active access window.
03
Independent final decision
After required assessments are complete and thresholds are met, a one-business-day controlled review period applies. Clean cases may be completed by approved rules; any conflict, integrity flag or evidence exception is routed to authorised human review.
