Directory purpose
The verifier directory connects lithium producers with assurance providers that understand carbon footprint, lifecycle assessment, Battery PEFCR, and supply-chain due diligence.
Tier 2-4 // LITHIUM RECORD

Evidence architecture
Structured for producers, verifiers, OEMs, and machines
Initial static rows
The current directory uses static placeholder rows that can be replaced by a public Worker API once the dynamic layer is deployed.
Verifier economics
Verifiers can later participate in referral and Stripe Connect workflows while keeping technical independence in the assurance process.

Core fields in the record layer
Every page in this static layer points back to the same operating premise: lithium compliance evidence needs a stable, readable, citation-friendly URL rather than a disposable file export.
| Record field | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| kgCO₂/kg LCE | Translates site evidence into OEM carbon-footprint workflows. |
| GPS and extraction route | Hardens provenance and supports due-diligence review. |
| Verifier signature | Shows independent assurance status and review trail. |
| SHA-256 hash | Connects documents, metadata, and permanent record identity. |
