As of 2026-09-29, PeerLibrary holds 259,205 behavioural primitives (n=259,205). Of those, 256,286 are cleared as licensable (n=259,205). Clearance in this sense is a property of a primitive as an item in a cross-tenant corpus: it records that the item may be licensed between organisations. It says nothing about whether a statement of competence derived from behavioural evidence could be issued to an individual, held by that individual, presented to a later employer, and verified by that employer. Those latter properties are the ones the verifiable-credentials literature treats as constitutive of a record that travels with a person, and none of them is measured by the counts reported here.
Method
All figures are stock counts drawn from platform stores on a single as-of date, 2026-09-29. Each figure carries its own denominator, stated at first use and repeated here. PeerLibrary holds 259,205 behavioural primitives (n=259,205). Of those, 256,286 are cleared as licensable (n=259,205). The platform assessment corpus holds 17,403 atomic behavioural observations (n=17,403). Assessed commercial conversations number 1,384 (n=1,384). The ontology contains 424 competencies (n=424). Frameworks represented in the ontology number 127 (n=127).
No confidence interval is reported for any count, and none would be meaningful for a census of a store at a point in time. The criteria by which a primitive is marked licensable are not reported in the evidence available, nor is the date on which those criteria were set, nor whether the marking is applied at ingestion or at a later review. The evidence does not report whether any of the counts above are linked to individual persons at the record level, and no such linkage is assumed. No agreement or reliability statistic accompanies the counts, so nothing reported speaks to the consistency with which a primitive or an observation is assigned.
Corpus and ontology
Two stores are distinguished. PeerLibrary is the cross-tenant licensable corpus and holds 259,205 behavioural primitives (n=259,205). The platform assessment corpus is a separate store and holds 17,403 atomic behavioural observations (n=17,403); these observations are not held in PeerLibrary, and the two counts are not nested. Assessed commercial conversations number 1,384 (n=1,384) and are the conversational units from which assessment material derives. The ontology against which competence is described contains 424 competencies (n=424). It represents 127 frameworks (n=127). The relationship between ontology entries and primitives is not quantified in the evidence, so no statement is made about how many primitives attach to any competency.
Results
PeerLibrary holds 259,205 behavioural primitives as of 2026-09-29. Within that same set of 259,205, the number cleared as licensable is 256,286. The uncleared remainder is not characterised in the evidence, and no reason for non-clearance is recorded there.
The platform assessment corpus holds 17,403 atomic behavioural observations. The number of assessed commercial conversations is 1,384. The ontology contains 424 competencies. The number of frameworks represented is 127.
Clearance is reported only at the level of the primitive and only as a binary state. No count of persons, no count of organisations, and no per-person aggregation appears in the evidence, and consequently nothing in these results supports a claim about what any individual's behavioural record contains or about whether such a record exists as an addressable object.
Interpretation
The standardised model for a record that travels with a person separates three roles. An issuer makes a signed claim about a subject identifier; a holder retains and presents it; a verifier checks it. The survey literature on decentralized identifiers and verifiable credentials describes the W3C standardisation of these constructs and the property that matters most for labour-market use, that a verifier can check a presented credential without direct engagement with the issuer, using the worked example of a job applicant presenting a signed university attestation (A Survey on Decentralized Identifiers and Verifiable Credentials). Corpus-level licensing clearance has no counterpart to any of these roles. It authorises movement of material between organisations as a data asset. It does not create a subject identifier, does not produce a signed claim about a person, and does not define a presentation that a verifier could check.
Revocation is a second unmet property, and it is not a solved one in the external literature either. Work on privacy-preserving revocation argues that an issuer should not be able to track a holder's presentations and that a verifier should not be able to inspect revocation information beyond what the holder permits, proposing anonymous hierarchical identity-based encryption to achieve this, and states that privacy-preserving revocation remains unresolved and actively debated within the standardisation of the European Digital Identity wallet (Towards Privacy-Preserving Revocation of Verifiable Credentials with Time-Flexibility). That paper's notion of time-flexibility, in which a holder authorises verifier access to revocation information for specified later windows rather than only at the moment of presentation, corresponds to the structure of hiring, where evaluation often occurs well after a record is submitted. The clearance state of 256,286 primitives bears on none of this: not on whether a derived claim about a person could be withdrawn, and not on who would learn that it had been.
Semantic portability is a third requirement, and the education literature has treated it for longer than the identity literature has. A 1998 New Hampshire symposium on competency-based systems, attended by about seventy-five leaders from secondary and postsecondary education, business, and state agencies, identified recognition and acceptance of transcripts and credentials throughout a region as a standing challenge alongside defining and assessing the competencies themselves (ERIC ED459664). More recent competency-transcript work describes the same problem in the form of a bridge transcript intended to translate competency-based records into formats receiving institutions can interpret (Signals: Transcripts). The ontology represents 127 frameworks (n=127), which is sufficient for the translation problem to be present in the material described here. The ontology also contains 424 competencies (n=424). No evidence is reported on whether claims expressed against one framework are interpretable by a party that uses another.
Requirements
Five properties are absent from the counts reported here. A subject identifier must exist to which claims attach. Claims must be signed by an identified issuer in a form a verifier can check without contacting that issuer. The holder must control presentation, including which claims are disclosed. A revocation mechanism must exist that does not leak presentation behaviour to the issuer or over-disclose to the verifier. The vocabulary in which a claim is expressed must be interpretable by a receiving party that did not participate in its production.
Limitations
Clearance is a corpus-level state between organisations and is reported as a binary marking without recorded criteria. The 17,403 observations (n=17,403) and the 259,205 primitives (n=259,205) sit in separate stores, and no mapping between them is reported. All counts are stocks at 2026-09-29 with no prior observation, so no trend is available. No measure of assignment reliability is reported. Nothing is reported about persons, so no inference about individual records is licensed by this evidence.
Further work
The tractable next measurements are a count of primitives resolvable to a single consenting person, a count of competencies for which claims can be expressed in a framework other than the one under which evidence was gathered, and a description of the clearance criteria with the dates on which they were set. Each is a precondition for asking whether behavioural evidence carries labour-market signal distinct from the credential it would accompany.
