How We Screen

Evidence before a methodology-specific status.

HilalMarkets stores the methodology, version, review date, evidence, qualifications, authority, and status history. Technology supports the workflow; it does not issue a religious ruling.

Evidence, methodology, and qualified governance

Screening process

A reviewable chain, not an unexplained score.

1

Define methodology

Publish scope and evidence requirements.

2

Collect evidence

Record sources and retrieval dates.

3

Apply rules

Preserve outcomes and qualifications.

4

Qualified review

Approve or return the assessment.

5

Watch for drift

Keep later changes auditable.

Status definitions

Labels describe a result under one method and version.

Eligible

Meets the effective methodology using the available approved evidence.

Eligible with qualifications

Included with material context the user should review.

Under review

Excluded from default monitoring while evidence or review is incomplete.

Disputed

A material disagreement remains visible rather than averaged away.

Excluded

Does not meet the stated methodology and version.

Insufficient information

Required evidence is not complete enough for a status.

Qualified human governance

Automation supports evidence; people own religious review.

AI and deterministic services may collect, organize, and apply approved rules. Final assessment authority must be disclosed and qualified for the methodology being used.

What every Evidence Passport should preserve

Methodology and immutable version
Review date, sources, and qualifications
Status history and material changes
Visible disagreement

Different methods can reach different conclusions.

HilalMarkets should show each approved methodology separately, with its own evidence and authority. It must not manufacture a universal "halal score."
