The project
A repository record shows its status, applicable rules and attributed share of routed funds. Attribution describes how a shared total is divided; it is not a separate transfer.

A project can help make a transfer possible. A contributor can help build that project. The records should explain those connections without counting the same good twice.
The contributor
Contribution records use a published method to recognise eligible work. A contributor is shown publicly only if they choose to be. An attributed share is not income, ownership or a payout to the contributor.

Coverage records describe the scope and term of an Entitlement. A payment receipt proves a payment; a separate transfer record shows what reached a listed recipient.

The planned platform includes verifiable certificates for project stewards and contributors. They give the people behind a project a record they can share with their community, prospective collaborators or future employers.
Stewardship and participation are recognised from verified records. A statement about charity funding additionally needs recorded transfers; an individual amount follows the published attribution and materiality rules.
An optional step beyond adoption
Changing LICENSE adopts the issued licence. To receive a certificate, a project administrator verifies their role through a platform claim; a contributor signs in with GitHub and then receives one for each year the record credits them, private until they choose to show it. This is separate from the one-file adoption step.
Certificate issuance is still being connected to the platform.

The display rules limit individual currency figures below a published materiality floor. They favour contribution measures, grouped totals and context over rankings that would overstate a person’s share.

Published transfer receipts, when available, are the evidence of money reaching a recipient.
