Help & FAQ
Questions, answered plainly.
Straight answers about how Revrse works — what it costs, how results get proven, and why the money never touches us. If your question is not here, ask us directly.
For creators
If you’re the one doing the work.
What it costs, what you can bring, and how your project is handled.
Is Revrse really free for me?
Yes. Everything a creator does here — describing a project, developing it, planning how to prove it, building a record and getting matched to funding — costs nothing. Nobody pays us to be verified. We pay for that in three ways: funders pay for the diligence and reporting that sit on top of a trusted record, schools and colleges pay for the programmes and competitions we run, and people donate. The people doing the work should never have to pay to be believed.
But your competitions have entry fees — how is that free?
Because those are two different things. Using Revrse costs nothing: sign up, put a project in, have the evidence checked, be matched to funders, pay us nothing. The competitions and programmes we organise for schools and colleges do have fees — they pay for the prize pool, the judging and running the thing, not for verification. Every fee is published before anyone signs up, and you never need to enter one to use the platform.
What can I bring, and how finished does it need to be?
Any project, at any stage, in any language. A single paragraph, a full proposal, or a rough voice note is enough to start. Revrse reads what you give it and turns it into a structured project — and it shows you which parts came from what you actually said and which it had to guess, so you can confirm or correct them before anything goes further.
What if my result genuinely can’t be proven?
Then Revrse says so plainly, rather than dressing it up. Some things can’t be measured cleanly, and pretending otherwise is exactly the failure this platform exists to prevent. You are never pushed to overclaim — an honest ‘we can’t prove this part yet’ is treated as a real, respectable answer, and you keep full credit for everything that can be shown.
Who sees my work?
You do, and you decide who else does. Your project is not public by default. Listing it on the public commons — where funders and others can find it — is entirely opt-in: you choose whether to list, when, and what to show. Until then, it stays yours.
How is my idea handled — will things be assumed about it?
No. When Revrse structures your project, it labels which parts you stated and which it inferred, side by side. Nothing is quietly filled in behind your back: where the engine had to make an assumption, it is shown as an assumption for you to accept or change. The thinking stays yours.
For funders
If you’re backing the work.
How to read a result, what the levels mean, and where the money sits — which is never with us.
How do I know a result is real?
Every result carries the level it has actually reached, on a ladder that is always visible — from self-reported, to machine-checked, to human-reviewed, to checked in person — and each level links straight to the evidence behind it. You are never asked to take a green tick on faith; you can follow any claim down to what backs it.
What does a ‘level’ or ‘tier’ actually mean?
It is a plain statement of how far a result has been checked — no more, no less. A higher level does not mean a better project; it means more of the claim has been independently confirmed. A result climbs only as far as its evidence honestly carries it, so a modest level can still sit under work that is completely genuine.
Can a result that says ‘verified’ later turn out to be wrong?
It can, and when it does it is handled in the open. If a later check disproves a verified result, the record does not hide it: a retraction is written, the level drops, and any funding that rode on that result stops. The full history stays visible, so the record corrects itself rather than quietly papering over the mistake.
Trust & safety
What keeps the record honest.
What stops a fake from getting through, and how to flag one if it does.
What stops someone faking a result?
Several things, in layers. A machine confirms what it can from the evidence itself — that a photo matches the claim, that a source resolves. A trained human verifier corps handles the judgement no machine can make. And for anything that still slips through, retraction is the backstop: a false result is pulled and its level drops in full view. A false ‘verified’ is the single failure this whole system is built to prevent, so the design leans cautious everywhere.
How do I report a concern?
Get in touch and tell us what you have seen. If you think a result is wrong, a claim is overstated, or something does not add up, contact us and it goes straight to the verification team to look into. Raising a concern is welcome, not a nuisance — it is how the record stays worth trusting.
Still not sure about something?
If your question isn’t answered above, tell us what you’re trying to do and we’ll help. We read everything that comes in.
