How it works

For editors^*

1. 1

   Brief the assignment

   In the editorial dashboard, define the scope, location radius, deadline, and required capture mode (live stream / video / photo). Set the access tier — who else in your organisation can see the asset and its metadata.

2. 2

   Match a Journalist

   Veracium proposes Journalists in the region whose tier and equipment match your brief. You see pseudonymous identifiers (MMJ-XXXXXXXXXXXX), tier badges, and capture history — never names.

3. 3

   Receive the capture

   The Journalist's device seals the asset on capture. You get the live stream or the finished file plus a publicly verifiable certificate. Total editorial latency: under five seconds for live streams.

4. 4

   Use it in court, in print, or in publication

   The certificate is a standalone document. Anyone — judge, fact-checker, opposing counsel, reader — can verify it without a Veracium account.

For Journalists^*

1. 1

   Apply and verify

   Identity verification happens once, through the blind-intermediary layer. Your real name never reaches the editor.

2. 2

   Accept assignments

   Browse open assignments in your region, filter by tier, accept what matches your skills and risk tolerance.

3. 3

   Capture safely

   Live stream, video, or photo — the app handles sealing, hashing, signing, and queued upload. Dead-man protocol and duress PIN are configured per assignment.

4. 4

   Get paid

   Per-assignment or per-asset rates, paid through the platform with optional anonymous payout via privacy-preserving rails.
