## Product Invariant & Universal Positioning
PathPort is the universal, individual-owned credential tracker, encrypted document vault, verifiable portfolio (`MyPortfolio`), and career intelligence workspace (`MyPath`) built for everyone across every industry. Own your journey. Shape what’s next.
- **Universal Across Every Industry**: Whether you work in healthcare (RN, APRN, Paramedic, Physician), technology & project management (PMI PMP, AWS, CISSP), aviation, education, skilled trades, or research—or simply want to track personal identity documents—if you hold a credential, you can track it in PathPort.
- **Individual Sovereignty**: The individual owns the canonical profile, credentials held, continuing education history, personal identity documents, degrees, work experiences, structured case studies, projects, publications, and consent grants.
- **Personal Identity Documents Tracker ($0 Free Forever)**: Anyone can track everyday personal identity documents—such as a Driver's License, REAL ID, Passport, Global Entry / TSA PreCheck card, or Vehicle Registration—completely free so they never forget a renewal.
- **PathPort Workplace (Launching 2027)**: Built for any workforce that needs employees to hold and maintain credentials without sending countless emails. Organizations log in, select required credentials, and send requests to employees—who create a free PathPort profile, upload required docs, and share them with zero lost emails. Intelligence in the system keeps everyone compliant, and organizations can assign CEUs directly to training attendees.
- **PathPort Certify (Launching 2027)**: Complete end-to-end credential lifecycle management for organizations, certifying boards, and associations. Candidates can apply for a credential, submit documents, track application payments, sync exam results from official test platforms (or PathPort testing partners), receive digital badges through any badge provider, and manage ongoing recertifications directly inside PathPort.

## Multi-Source Ingestion & Smart-Suggested CE Attribution
1. **60-Second Multi-Source Onboarding**:
   - **PDF & Image Vault Upload**: Drag and drop licenses, certificates, wallet cards, and transcripts with SHA-256 cryptographic hashing.
   - **Email-to-Vault (`@in.getpathport.com`)**: Forward course completion emails directly to a personal `@in.getpathport.com` address for automatic extraction into the staging tray.
   - **Badge & Registry Sync**: Import digital badges from Credly, Accredible (`credential.net`), Badgr / Canvas Credentials, Coursera, and Open Badges 2.0/3.0.
   - **Scholarly & Technical Imports**: Sync publications and repositories via ORCID, PubMed, CrossRef/DOI, Google Scholar, BibTeX, GitHub, and Open Science Framework (OSF).
2. **Human-in-the-Loop Smart-Suggested CE Attribution**:
   - When continuing education (CE/CEU/CME/PDU) certificates are uploaded or emailed, PathPort parses the hours and issuer and **smart-suggests** matching requirement buckets.
   - Users review and confirm how hours apply—including applying a single qualifying course across multiple state or board credentials and automatically rolling surplus hours into general or elective requirement buckets.

## Four-Tier Provenance Model
PathPort never inflates verification claims. Every credential and artifact carries one of four explicit provenance tiers:
1. `Issuer-Verified`: Confirmed directly via an official licensing registry or issued natively through **PathPort Certify**.
2. `Provider-Reported`: Ingested directly from an accredited provider via `@in.getpathport.com` or verified digital badge assertion.
3. `Document-Supported`: Backed by a primary-source PDF or image certificate stored in the user's encrypted vault with a tamper-evident **SHA-256** hash.
4. `Self-Reported`: Claimed by the professional with structured metadata while primary documentation is pending.

## Core Product Surfaces
- **MyPortfolio (Tailored, Verifiable Sharing)**: Create unlimited role-specific portfolio views (`Public`, `Unlisted`, `Private`) with granular document download controls (`Downloadable`, `Preview-Only`, `Hidden Metadata-Only`) and immutable submission snapshots.
- **MyPath & PathAI (Career Intelligence & Interview Studio)**:
  - Evaluates the whole professional trajectory across 6 pillars (*Earn, Learn, Build, Demonstrate, Experience, Reflect*).
  - **What-If Role Audit**: Audits readiness against target roles, specialties, or states using public USDOL/ETA CareerOneStop licensing directories and Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) wage benchmarks.
  - **Application & Interview Studio (`MyInterview`)**: Generates evidence-backed cover letters, interview stories, and interactive voice/audio mock interview coaching grounded in verified career records.
