SHEET 32 — CREATOR VERIFICATION
Seven verification levels stand between a new creator and the audience — from KYC identity checks to institutional contributor status. Here is what each level means and exactly how we check every claim.
EVERY BADGE IS EARNED, AUDITED AND REVOCABLE
Educational research only. Not financial advice.
What's inside
Identity Verified
KYC-checked: government ID, liveness verification, and confirmed ownership of the claimed social accounts. The human behind every handle is known and accountable.
Education Verified
Content reviewed for education-first framing: frameworks over calls, risk disclosures present, defined max loss shown on every structure discussed.
Track Record Submitted
Broker statements covering the claimed period, reconciled against published, timestamped calls. Screenshots are not evidence; statements are.
Risk Disclosure Compliant
Every performance mention paired with the corresponding risk metrics — losses, drawdowns, sample size — and standard disclosures on all trade-adjacent content.
Strategy Methodology Reviewed
The creator's stated methodology examined for internal consistency: entries, exits, sizing and invalidation rules that a viewer could actually audit against the published record.

How we verify
Every creator completes KYC identity verification before anything they write appears on the platform: government ID, liveness check, and a match between the verified identity and the accounts they claim to operate. Pseudonymous brands are allowed — plenty of good research is published under a handle — but the human behind the handle is always verified, on file, and accountable.
This is the floor, not the ceiling. Identity verification says nothing about skill; it exists so that no creator on GiottoO can vanish, rebrand and reappear with a clean slate after a bad run.
Track-record claims are checked against broker statements, not screenshots. Creators at the track-record level submit account statements covering the claimed period, and published calls are timestamped by our systems at publication — a call that appears after the move does not count, ever.
Verified results are displayed with the context that makes them honest: sample size, time period, win rate alongside average win and average loss, and maximum drawdown. A win rate without the loss distribution is marketing, not a track record, and it does not earn the badge.
Every published idea on GiottoO enters a resolution log that cannot be edited retroactively. Each idea is tracked to its conclusion — target hit, stop hit, expired, or scratched — and the full log is what viewers see, with losers and scratches included at the same prominence as winners. Deleting a losing call after the fact is impossible by construction.
Creators who stop resolving their ideas lose their verification status. Selective memory is the oldest trick in trading content, and the resolution log exists specifically to take it off the table.
Every piece of creator content is labeled. Educational analysis carries risk disclosures and defined max-loss figures on any structure discussed. Anything a creator was paid to publish carries a Sponsored tag that cannot be removed or buried — the label travels with the content wherever it is shared.
The line we enforce: creators teach frameworks and show their reasoning; they do not issue personalized recommendations, promise outcomes, or imply that following them replaces a viewer's own risk decisions. Content that crosses that line is removed and repeat offenses end the creator relationship.

Creator content on GiottoO is educational research, not investment advice, regardless of verification level. Verification confirms identity, process and record-keeping — it is not an endorsement of any creator's future results.
Verified track records are historical. Past performance does not determine future outcomes, and all options trading involves risk of loss.
