PeerProof

Academic credentials verified by real graduate students — not paperwork.

Diploma fraud is solvable. Traditional verification isn't enough.

Certificates can be faked. Transcripts can be bought. PeerProof uses live peer interviews — conducted by verified graduate students and postdocs in the same field — to give you a real measure of knowledge and professionalism.
