The gap
What they see vs. what you did.
What everyone else does
87% in Strategic Management (no one knows what you produced)
First class in Environmental Engineering (nobody saw the design)
Pass in Teaching Practice (observer not named, no proof of what you taught)
Distinction in Creative Portfolio (jury not named, no panel record)
What Powstik proofs look like
Competitive analysis for a real company — reviewed by an MBA-qualified practitioner who documented their questions and your responses
Environmental impact assessment — HAZOP table + supervisor attestation from a registered engineer
Observed teaching session — mentor teacher attestation, lesson plan, pupil work samples (anonymised)
Portfolio crit — external industry panel (named professionals), critique responses on record
Why people choose Powstik
Four things a degree can't do.
Real artifact, not an essay
Every Powstik proof is a real thing you produced — a design, a plan, a simulation, a recorded session, a working system. Not a written account of what you studied.
Named supervisor, not a grade
Your supervisor, placement tutor, or panel reviewer is named in the proof. Their professional standing travels with your credential — it's not anonymous feedback.
Permanent and shareable
Every proof gets its own permanent link. Attach it to a job application, embed it in your portfolio, or link it from LinkedIn — the artifact, the supervisor, and the dates are all there.
Free forever for students
The full core loop — all paths, all milestones, peer verification, your Outcome Card — is free for students. No trial period, no upgrade prompt.
Paths for students
Structured credential paths at every level.
Each path has milestones, each milestone has a specific proof standard and verifier checklist. You follow a real path — you don't invent the proof format.

Verification
How trust tiers work.
Verification is always human. Named people stake their reputation on your proof — there is no automated scoring or AI quality judgment.
T0 — Self-reported
You submitted the proof. No one has verified it yet. Still permanent and shareable — you're accountable for it.
T1 — Peer verified
One person you've worked with has confirmed the proof is genuine. They signed off using their Powstik account — not anonymously.
T2 — 3+ independent peers
Three or more people have independently verified this proof. The strongest signal a peer network can provide.
T3 — Coach / supervisor verified
A verified coach, academic supervisor, or professional lead has signed off. They hold the verification to the same standard they'd use in a code review or placement report.
T4 — Institutional verifier
The verifier linked their institutional profile (company page, HCPC registration, ORCID, or equivalent) as part of the endorsement. The strongest signal on the platform.
