No badge asset is issued in v0.1. A badge is a distribution mechanism for a
reviewed result, not a logo for the project.

## Issuance requirements {#requirements}

- The exact product, region, plan, standard version, review date, and expiry date are visible.
- All five criteria have evidence; an Unknown result cannot be hidden.
- The badge links to the registry record, not to a marketing landing page.
- A material product or policy change suspends the badge until review.
- The project can withdraw a badge while preserving the historical record and reason.

SVG artwork, embed code, and trademark terms belong to a later phase after the
method has been calibrated on real assessments.
