Pattern
Verifiable credential
A signed claim a subject can present later, without putting the evidence file on a public chain.
Use it when
A verifier needs a fact about a business or a person, and the underlying documents must stay private.
Do not use it when
You were about to publish the passport scan, the registry extract, or the ownership PDF.
