Frequently Asked Questions
Common inquiries regarding the E.A.T.I.T. verification process
What are the "Epstein Files"?
The Epstein Files refer to a collection of documents released by the United States Department of Justice related to the Jeffrey Epstein case. These documents were made publicly available and have been indexed by independent researchers for searchability.
Is this service official?
E.A.T.I.T. is an independent research initiative and is not affiliated with any government agency. Our certificates are issued by the Institute and carry no legal weight.
What does "CLEARED" mean?
A CLEARED status indicates that an exact match for the submitted name was not found in our document index at the time of the search. This does not constitute proof of non-involvement in any matter.
My name was found. What does this mean?
Name presence in the documents can occur for many reasons — as a witness, attorney, law enforcement official, journalist, or in any other context. Presence in the index does not imply wrongdoing.
Can I share my certificate?
Yes! Certificates are designed to be shared on professional networks (including LinkedIn), social media platforms, and can be added to email signatures. Each certificate includes a unique verification URL.
How accurate is the search?
Our system uses exact phrase matching. This means "John Smith" will only match documents containing "John Smith" as a complete phrase, not documents containing "John" and "Smith" separately.
Is my search private?
Search queries are logged for rate limiting and abuse prevention purposes. We do not sell or share search data with third parties. See our ███████ Privacy Policy for details.
Why is my request queued?
During high-demand periods, requests are queued to prevent overloading our data source. Your position in the queue is displayed, and processing typically completes within 60 seconds.
Is this a joke?
E.A.T.I.T. is a satirical project that uses real, publicly available data. While the search functionality is genuine, the "Institute" framing is humorous commentary on certification culture.
