01
Research
RICON researchers build the first profile record from primary references, official databases, interviews, and reputable coverage.
Verification pipeline
How RICON turns biography into verified data.
The trust model is simple: research is sourced, sources are checked, editors review the record, talent approves it, and only then does it become verified data.
02
Source Citation
Every claim is attached to source notes so reviewers can see where the information came from before it moves forward.
03
Editorial QA
Editors check names, dates, statistics, context, and claim wording before a profile is shown to talent for approval.
04
Talent Approval
Talent or authorized representatives approve, dispute, or annotate the record before RICON marks it as verified.
05
Verified Data
Approved facts become a versioned data record that can power profile pages, licensing feeds, and partner APIs.
What makes RICON different?
Verification is not a badge applied at the end. It is a workflow with source requirements, talent review, and a durable record of what changed.
Minimum 2 sources per claim
Claims need corroboration before they are treated as ready for profile review.
Talent approval required
A profile is not verified until talent or an authorized representative has reviewed the record.
Immutable audit trail
Each approval, dispute, citation change, and verified snapshot is preserved for accountability.
FAQ
Who does the research?
RICON researchers and editors assemble the record from trusted public sources, official references, supplied materials, and review notes from authorized talent teams.
Can talent remove facts?
Talent can dispute facts, add context, request corrections, and flag privacy or rights concerns. RICON resolves those requests through review rather than silently deleting sourced history.
What happens when sources conflict?
Conflicting claims are held for editorial QA. The team compares source quality, recency, and directness, then either selects the strongest supported version or preserves the conflict as a note until it is resolved.
