A
Activity
A single item in a Timeline that Konfir is evidencing (for example, an employment period or a gap), shown as one row in Konsole.
Activity status
An outcome label applied to an Activity that summarises evidence strength for that activity: Verified, Connected, or Not Verified.
Alerts & Insights
Konfir’s product term for highlighted review callouts attached to a Verification or Activity, based on patterns or checks from connected Data source evidence (and, where relevant, what was Declared). Includes items like Employment Date Alerts, Employer Name Alerts, Company Trading Date Check, Undeclared Employment Check, and Reference Fraud Check.
Applicant
The person being verified in a Verification. Same concept as Candidate.
B
Base pay
An income field shown within an expanded Activity (when your verification type/configuration includes income). Represents the base component of pay where available from connected Data source evidence.
C
Cancelled
A Verification status meaning the verification ended before the applicant submitted, so results are typically limited or unavailable. (If your workspace shows a cancellation reason, see Cancellation reason.)
Candidate
The person being verified in a Verification. Same concept as Applicant.
Cancellation reason
A label sometimes shown when a Verification status is Cancelled, indicating why it ended (e.g.Timed out, Rejected, Duplicate, Verifier cancelled, Failed).
Company Trading Date Check
An Alerts & Insights item that highlights when a declared employment period appears to fall partly or wholly outside a company’s trading dates (based on employer identity data).
Completed
A Verification status meaning the applicant submitted the verification journey, so results are available to review. Completed does not imply every Activity is Verified.
Connected
An Activity status meaning some relevant evidence was retrieved for the activity period from connected Data source evidence, but it was not sufficient to mark the activity as Verified.
D
Data source
A system Konfir can retrieve evidence from (with applicant consent), such as HMRC, Open Banking, Payroll, or Documents.
Declared
Information provided at request creation (by you and/or the applicant)
Discrepancy
A mismatch between Declared information vs. Konfir Verified data evidenced from connected Data sources
Documents
A Data source where evidence comes from files uploaded by the applicant and processed into structured fields (and retained for review where applicable).
Duplicate
A Cancellation reason indicating the verification was ended because another live verification exists for the same applicant (handling is workspace-dependent).
E
Employment Date Alerts
An Alerts & Insights item that highlights a Discrepancy between declared and evidenced employment dates.
Employer Name Alerts
An Alerts & Insights item that highlights a Discrepancy between declared and evidenced employer name.
Employer name
The employer label shown on an Activity (timeline row and detail view). This may reflect evidence from connected Data source evidence and can differ from what was Declared due to naming conventions (for example trading vs legal names).
End date
The end of the activity’s time window (for example employment end date), as shown within an Activity.
F
Failed
A Cancellation reason indicating the verification could not be completed due to a system or data error.
Full name
An identity field shown for the applicant, typically sourced from request creation and/or returned by connected Data source evidence (depending on configuration and data source behaviour).

An income field (when enabled) representing annualised income over the last 12 months as supported by available connected Data source evidence for that activity.
Gross income (Tax Year to Date)
An income field (when enabled) representing gross income from the start of the tax year to the relevant date, as supported by available connected Data source evidence for that activity.

H
HMRC
A Data source providing tax and PAYE-related records that can contribute employment and income evidence (where available for the applicant and period).
J

An employment field within an Activity (when available). Often depends on whether Payroll is connected and whether the payroll provider returns job title reliably.
