Read and interpret your verification result

When a document finishes analysis, click it to open the detail view. Here is what each part of the result means and what to do with it.

Trust score

Every result shows a trust score from 0 to 100. A score of 100 means the document is clean, with no warning signals. Lower scores mean VerifyPDF found more or stronger problems.

Fraud-risk bands

The trust score maps to a fraud-risk rating. There are four bands:

• Trusted - a perfect 100 that also matched a known-good template. Treat the document as clean.
• Low (score 80 to 100) - clean. No meaningful warning signals.
• Medium (score 41 to 79) - worth a manual look. Review it before you rely on it.
• High (score 0 to 40) - strong document-fraud signals. Treat it with serious caution.

Warnings

The result lists warnings, each with a short plain-language description. The strongest signals appear first, so start at the top. If the PDF was edited after it was created, the result also summarizes what changed.

One warning on its own does not always mean fraud. To understand the kinds of checks behind these warnings, read understand fraud flags and risk indicators.

Document metadata

The result shows filtered metadata from the PDF, such as the title, author, creator, key dates, page count and file size. Missing or mismatched metadata can itself be a warning sign.
