This is how trust will work on Pass It Forward. PIF is not just about posting opportunities. It is about helping people prove what they can do, build real reputation and turn completed work into trust. The system works in 3 stages: Before the deal People show their Proof of Work. This could be past work, screenshots, links, case studies, portfolio examples, results or experience. This helps others decide: Can this person do the job? Can I trust them? Have they shown real ability? During the deal The work moves into progress. This is where the person doing the job can share updates, drafts, files, screenshots, links or delivery evidence so the other person can review the work properly. This stage is important because work should not just be claimed. It should be shown, reviewed and confirmed. After the deal is completed Completion Proof comes in. Once both sides confirm the work was delivered and the deal is settled, proof can be attached to that completed deal. That proof is stronger than a random claim because it is connected to a real completed PIF deal. So the trust layer becomes clear: Before the deal: “Here is what I can do.” During the deal: “Here is the work for review.” After the deal: “This deal was completed, and here is the proof.” That is the future we are building. Not empty profiles. Not fake claims. Not blind trust. Proof of Work. Progress. Completed deals. Deal-linked reputation. PIF is being built so people can discover opportunities, work with each other, build trust and carry their reputation forward. Before the deal, show what you can do. During the deal, show the work. After the deal, prove it was completed. That is how trust grows on Pass It Forward. 🚀
