What's the difference between verified skills and inferred skills?

Verified  skills are measured directly. Inferred skills are predicted by AI.

Inferred skills estimate proficiency based on signals like job history, learning activity, or content consumption. They are fast and broad, but highly probabilistic.

Verified skills use direct evidence to confirm proficiency. They take more effort to collect, but provide significantly higher confidence.

Best practice: use inference for discovery and verification for decisions.
