Each submission is checked for originality and risk signals.
Human review
Flagged cases are reviewed by trained moderators.
Vendor clarity
Artists receive outcomes and guidance where appropriate.

Why verification matters
Why Verification Exists
With the rise of automated and synthetic content, it has become increasingly important to distinguish between original work, unauthorised reproductions, and fully or partially AI-generated content.
- Original, human-created artwork
- Replicated or unauthorised reproductions
- Fully or partially AI-generated content
Layered review
How the Verification Process Works
Every new submission passes through a layered review flow. Automated checks help surface signals early, but they do not make final decisions on their own.
1. Submission
When a vendor publishes a new artwork, it is automatically verified. No extra steps are required to begin.
2. Automated Analysis
Proprietary tools evaluate visual characteristics, originality signals, similarity risks, and patterns associated with synthetic generation.
3. Proof & Context Review
Some artworks may require additional context, such as work-in-progress material, creation details, or method notes.
4. Human Moderation
Trained moderators review flagged submissions, complaints, contextual information, and verification signals before a final decision is made.
5. Outcome & Status
After review, artwork is marked as Verified, Pending, or Removed and vendors are notified of the result.
Statuses
Outcome & Status
After review, each artwork is assigned a status so vendors understand exactly where it stands.
Verified
Approved as human-made and eligible for sale.
Pending
Requires further review or clarification.
Removed
Does not meet marketplace requirements.
Boundaries
What Verification Is Not
To ensure fairness and integrity, some details of the system are intentionally not public.
- A single automated test
- A simple checkbox or keyword scan
- A system that can be bypassed by altering metadata or file names
Fairness
Transparency & Fairness
Verification should support genuine artists without creating unnecessary barriers.
Consistent
Applied equally to all vendors.
Proportionate
Requests extra information only when needed.
Respectful
Designed to support artists, not discourage them.
