Guidance is not authorisation.
Following public EviWrite guidance can improve practice, but it does not grant the right to use the mark or claim EviWrite-backed status.
Evidential Mark
Authorised Use of the EviWrite Mark
Understand when the EviWrite mark may be used and why authorised use must remain controlled.
The value of the EviWrite mark depends on controlled meaning. People may follow public guidance, but they may not imply EviWrite verification, certification, approval, endorsement, authorised status, or mark rights unless an authorised EviWrite-backed process applies.
Core principles
How this mark guidance should be read.
The EviWrite mark only has value when its meaning remains controlled, checkable, and bounded by the evidence behind it.
Authorised use must be traceable.
A valid authorised use should be capable of being tied back to the relevant EviWrite-backed process, receipt, agreement, verification route, or licence.
Claims must not exceed the evidence.
Even authorised use must remain bounded by what the actual evidence, receipt, verification route, or licence supports.
authorisedUse
What this explains.
Allowed language
Public guidance can be referenced carefully.
A person or organisation may say they use or follow public EviWrite guidance only when that is true and when the statement does not imply EviWrite verification, approval, certification, endorsement, or authorised mark use.
Controlled language
EviWrite-backed claims require an authorised basis.
Claims such as verified by EviWrite, EviWrite-backed, EviWrite-certified, authorised EviWrite mark use, or official EviWrite status require the relevant authorised basis.
Institutional use
Enterprise and partner use should be governed.
Organisations, platforms, publishers, and partners should not use the mark as a decorative trust badge. It must remain connected to evidence, verification, and authorised meaning.
Important
The mark is not proof by appearance alone.
The EviWrite mark should point to evidence, verification context, public proof, or authorised use. A copied mark, screenshot, icon, or unsupported visual claim should not be treated as EviWrite verification by itself.
