## Field meanings

- Certificate ID — used for verify/QR
- Title — user-assigned project label
- Ownership claimed by — account display name; not automatic legal ownership
- SHA-256 — content fingerprint
- Blockchain reference — permanent once written
- RFC 3161 timestamp — TSA-signed time where present
- QR link — opens verify with certificate ID

## How to verify

1. Open https://proofit.biz/verify
2. Enter the certificate ID
3. Review hashes, blockchain status, and TSA details where available
4. Treat results as evidence of existence/time/integrity — not ownership or court guarantees
