Prove the work you've already done.
When a job ends, the proof of it stays with everyone except you: in the client's inbox, in a former employer's system, in files you can no longer reach. Can0nical gives you a record of your own. Note what you delivered, the client who received it confirms it, and you keep a verified work history that anyone can check.
A work recording, reporting and validation platform, with the clients, timesheets and invoicing side of the job in the same place.
The evidence problem, in three numbers
workers are in informal employment: 58% of the world, with no payroll record of what they did
International Labour Organization, 2023hires reached by employers who dropped degree requirements, because skills are what they cannot verify

A work recording, reporting and validation platform.
You record what you delivered. You report it to the client or manager who received it. They validate it. What you keep is one canonical record of the work you delivered: permanent, yours, and checkable by anyone.
Work recording
Note what you delivered while it's fresh: the deliverable, the dates, the hours, and the client it was for. Two minutes at the end of a job or a day.
Reporting
Turn the same entries into what the other side actually needs: a milestone, a timesheet, or an invoice. Send it on a link. Recording the work and reporting the work stop being two separate jobs.
Validation
The client or manager who received the work confirms it in one tap, with no account and no sign-up. What comes back is their word about your work, not yours.
Verification, by anyone
Every confirmed record carries an identifier a stranger can check for themselves. No account, no key, and no request to us.
Client management, if you are independent
Clients and their rates, the hours against each one, the invoices that come out of them, and what has actually been paid, all in the same place as the record they produce.
Employee work records, if you are a company
What your people delivered, confirmed by the clients and managers who received it rather than written up at review time. Company accounts, team members and a ledger of what your team has verified work today; organisation-wide reporting is in build.
From a day's work to a record that lasts.
Four steps. No jargon, no friction, just proof that follows you.
Log your work daily
At the end of a project or a day, note what you delivered, while it's fresh. It takes two minutes and there's nothing to dread.
Your client verifies it
They receive a simple link and confirm your work with a single tap: no account, no sign-up. Their word turns your entry into proof.
It's recorded permanently
Once verified, your work is sealed into a record that can never be quietly edited, deleted, or disputed away. It's yours, for good.
One record, everywhere
Share a single verified profile with any client, employer, or platform. No more rewriting your CV. No more starting from zero.
"Your reputation shouldn't reset with every new client. Good work shouldn't expire when a contract does."The problem Can0nical was built to solve
Proof you don't have to take our word for.
A record is only worth what its weakest guarantee allows. If this is going to be the canonical version of your work history, these are the guarantees behind it, and each one costs us something.
Confirmed by your client, not by us
We record that the organisation who received the work said it happened. We do not grade the work, rank you against anyone, or sell placement. A verifier that grades is an opinion, and opinions can be bought.
Checkable by anyone, without an account
Anyone holding a record can verify it themselves: no sign-up, no key, and no request to us. A record that only we can vouch for is a record that depends on us surviving.
Verify a recordAlterable by no one, including us
Once your client confirms an entry, altering it would break the check that anyone can run. That constraint is not a policy we could quietly change. It applies to Can0nical exactly as it applies to everyone else.
Nothing shown that we cannot verify
No self-declared certifications, no endorsements, no fields we have no way of checking. It costs us a richer-looking profile, permanently, and that cost is the point.
I work with clients across continents: consulting, freelancing, building. The work is solid. But every new engagement comes with the same overhead: re-explain your background, rewrite the CV, chase references, prove what should already be obvious. It's not a crisis. It's just friction that shouldn't exist anymore.
Can0nical is the fix. Log your work, have your client verify it, and carry the proof forward. Simple as that.
Free to prove your work. Paid to keep it forever.
Logging work and having a client confirm it is free. Making that confirmation permanent, so anyone can check it without asking us, is what a paid plan buys.
