VERITY RESERCH
Does the digital world represent who you are today?
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
VERITY Research advances the understanding of digital identity through original frameworks, independent research and annual reports.

Research Philosophy
Digital identity has become one of the defining aspects of modern life.
Search engines, artificial intelligence and publicly available information increasingly influence first impressions, trust and opportunity. Yet relatively little is understood about whether individuals believe the digital world truly reflects who they are today.
VERITY Research exists to better understand that relationship.
Through original frameworks, transparent research and annual reporting, we seek to contribute practical knowledge that helps individuals, organizations and society better understand digital identity.

The Digital Identity Alignment™ Framework
Measuring the perceived alignment between digital identity and lived reality.
Every individual has two identities.
One exists in lived experience.
The other exists in the digital world.
The Digital Identity Alignment™ Framework was developed by VERITY to provide a structured methodology for understanding how closely digital identity reflects lived reality.
It provides the methodological foundation fro every VERITY research, publication ad the long term Digital Identity Alignment™ research programme.
