Skills and review
A good match rests on evidence that a person can do the work, on someone accountable for supervising it and on an honest account of conflicts. This page explains how Agency, a platform of The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI), is designed to review competence, supervise work and handle conflicts of interest before and during an assignment. It describes the method; it does not publish assessments of any individual. Information and enquiries are open today.

What counts as evidence.
Work products
Publications, models, code, datasets, reports or project records the candidate can show and explain.
References
Named referees who supervised or reviewed the work, contacted only with the candidate’s consent.
Scoped exercises
Where the scope needs it, a short task matched to the assignment, assessed against stated criteria.
A learning record or contribution record is evidence of what was done. It is not a professional licence, and Agency never issues credentials it cannot substantiate.
Every assignment has a named supervisor.
- 01
Before work starts
The supervisor, the reporting line and the acceptance criteria are written into the terms.
- 02
During the work
Check-ins follow the risk of the work. High-consequence tasks are never assigned to unsupervised learners.
- 03
At acceptance
Deliverables are reviewed against the criteria. Disagreement is recorded rather than resolved silently.
- 04
After closeout
A contribution record is kept, and the person can ask for it to be corrected. The record states what was done, for whom and under whose supervision, and nothing more.
Conflicts are declared, recorded and acted on.
Candidates declare financial, institutional and personal interests relevant to the host, the subject and any competing party. A reviewer with a declared conflict never signs the relevant acceptance. Where a conflict cannot be managed, the person does not take the assignment. GCRI’s wider rules are set out on conflicts and independence.
How decisions are kept fair.
- Criteria are written before candidates are compared.
- No fee, sponsorship or membership tier improves a candidate’s chances.
- A candidate can ask for the reasons for a decision.
- Complaints about a matching decision are reviewed by someone not responsible for it, through the integrity concern form.
Questions and answers.
Will my assessment be published?
What if I have worked for the host before?
Who supervises volunteers and students?
Does passing review mean I will be selected?

Information and enquiries are open today. An enquiry receives a reference and names the next step; applications, payments, compute allocations and registrations open only when their team, terms and review capacity exist.
