Market Intelligence Layers
1. Public Market Layer
Public market information includes publicly available job postings, firm websites, employer announcements, practice descriptions, office locations, rankings, reports, publications, legal-market activity, and other external information available outside Verolex.
Function: context. Public market information may help frame questions and planning, but it does not prove Verolex demand, participant readiness, employer interest, or authorization.
2. Verolex Community / Participant Market Layer
The Verolex participant market includes attorneys, employers, recruiters, law schools, associations, publications, and other approved participants who create records, complete orientation, declare market interest, submit position or résumé information, or participate in governed Verolex workflows.
Function: governed participation signal. This layer is not the public market. It reflects declared interest, structured activity, role classification, and authorization status inside Verolex.
3. Verolex Activity Signal Layer
Activity signal includes Market Option selections, search behavior, profile development, candidate records, position records, QRecruit activity, referral review, alignment requests, and structured workflow engagement.
Function: internal market signal. Activity may show interest or emerging alignment, but it is not automatically complete, representative, verified, or actionable.
4. Verified Market Record Layer
A verified market record includes information that has been reviewed, classified, supported by submitted records, confirmed by an authorized participant, or tied to a governed Verolex workflow.
Function: governed intelligence. Verified records may support stronger planning, internal recommendations, alignment analysis, and readiness review, but they do not authorize external action by themselves.
5. Authorized Market Action Layer
Authorized market action includes approved referrals, employer-facing submissions, candidate introductions, outreach, publication, market representation, or institutional reporting.
Function: controlled external action. No public market context, participant interest, activity signal, or verified record becomes external action without authorization.
Market Option Rule
A Market Option is a governed expression of interest. It allows a participant to identify a location, practice area, employer category, institutional environment, or professional market without converting that interest into an application, referral, outreach campaign, or representation claim.
Market Options help Verolex compare public market context, participant records, platform signal, verification status, and authorization status before any stronger conclusion or action is considered.
