Product standards

Commitments should change what a product is allowed to claim.

These are the standards Berlvis can describe and inspect today. They do not imply a certification, a large security department or a mature compliance programme.

State the current stage

Every product is labelled Live, Controlled pilot or Beta. A pilot is not described as generally available, and a beta is not presented as complete.

Separate available work from planned work

Product pages distinguish what a user can do now, what is still being proven, and what the product explicitly does not claim.

Preserve important history

Where a record matters, corrections should remain visible instead of silently rewriting the past. The exact implementation depends on the product.

Collect only what the product needs

A field or account requirement should exist because the product needs it, not because more data may become useful later.

Publish limits beside benefits

Local processing, tenancy records and credential generation each carry direct limitations. Those limitations are part of the product description.

Date public claims

Stage, evidence and current focus are checked against the product record and carry a visible verification date.

Published product limits

The boundary changes with the product.

Berlvis Books

Live

  • Books is not an accountant and does not file tax returns or provide financial advice.
  • It is designed for owner-operated businesses, not companies that already run a full finance department.
  • Reports are only as complete as the transactions the business records.
Full record

Berlvis Spaces

Controlled pilot

  • Spaces does not verify land title, property ownership or a landlord's legal right to let a property.
  • It does not replace a tenancy agreement, legal advice or a dispute-resolution process.
  • The product only verifies records created through the flows it actually controls.
Full record

Berlvis Tools

Live

  • Because Berlvis does not receive locally processed files, it cannot recover a file that was not saved by the user.
  • Browser and device limits can affect very large files or older devices.
  • Calculators provide practical information and do not replace professional tax, legal or financial advice.
Full record

Berlvis Credentials

Beta

  • Credentials does not verify that the source data supplied by an institution is true.
  • It does not award a qualification or turn an unverified record into an authoritative one.
  • Consistent output is not the same as independently verified input.
Full record
Not implied

What this page does not certify.

Berlvis does not claim independent security certification, universal offline operation, perfect accessibility, zero incidents or formal compliance coverage that has not been named and evidenced.

Berlvis Tools processes supported files locally; that statement does not automatically apply to every future product or every supporting service.

Credentials creates consistent output from supplied data. Independent verification remains development work and is not generally available.
