Trust Mark evidence checklist

Use this checklist to gather what a reviewer expects before you apply for the W3S Trust Mark. Print it or save it as a PDF, then tick each item as you prepare it.

1. 1. Utility

   15%
   Token-utility description, product/access mapping, and copy that avoids investment or return language.

2. 2. Documentation

   10%
   Whitepaper/docs links, a changelog, and a plain-language risk disclosure.

3. 3. Team identity

   10%
   A named team or verified entity, roles, and relevant track record; entity registration where applicable.

4. 4. Legal posture

   15%
   Counsel-reviewed terms/disclaimers, jurisdiction notes, and (where relevant) a legal opinion on token classification.

5. 5. Security

   15%
   Audit report(s) or audit-readiness evidence, contract source, and a vulnerability-disclosure path.

6. 6. Treasury

   10%
   Treasury/multisig configuration, signer policy, and on-chain addresses where applicable.

7. 7. Governance

   10%
   A governance description, a change-control process, and conflict-of-interest handling.

8. 8. Operational maturity

   8%
   A roadmap with delivery history, support channels, and an incident/continuity plan.

9. 9. Risk controls

   7%
   A risk register or risk summary, mitigations, and jurisdiction/eligibility controls.

This checklist mirrors the public rubric. It is a preparation aid, not an application — submit through the Trust Mark intake when ready.
