What members can verify
Published member ratings and recorded VibePal activity. Counts are real platform totals, never simulated.

How these signals are calculated
Satisfaction converts the average of published member ratings into a percentage.
Completed hangouts counts recorded calls lasting at least one minute. Short starts under one minute are excluded.
Conversations counts recorded chat sessions and calls, while average session length uses completed hangouts only.
Shared goals use broad categories after at least three saved goals; otherwise they are clearly marked as profile-based.
