What each level asks of you
A verifier marks against these descriptors. Level 1 is free and self-directed; Levels 2 and 3 use credits and a human verifier.
L1
You can put the right chart on the page for a single metric and say why that chart.
L2
You build a dashboard someone else uses every week, with the definitions written down beside it.
L3
You set the metric definitions for a function, and retire the reports nobody opens.
What counts as evidence at L2
A dashboard you built, with its metric definitions and who uses it.
Evidence has to be work you did. It is attached to the request and read by the verifier — it is never published.
