## Overview

EV (Etech Verified) is a buyer-trust layer over EcomTech stores. Verified merchant badges, escrow on first orders, dispute mediation, and visible reputation scores — designed for markets where consumers do not yet fully trust online shopping. Sellers get reduced cart abandonment; buyers get the confidence to click "Buy".

## Features

- **Verified merchant badge** — Real-business verification: NID, trade license, bank account.
- **Escrow on first order** — Money is held until delivery is confirmed. Confidence on day one.
- **Dispute mediation** — Trained mediators resolve issues fast. Average resolution: 48 hours.
- **Verified reviews only** — Only customers who actually bought can leave reviews. No bots.
- **Public reputation** — Every store has a visible trust score. Earned, not gamed.
- **Delivery confirmation** — Buyer + courier confirm delivery in-app. No "lost in transit" disputes.

## How it works

1. **Merchants verify** — Upload NID + trade license + bank account. Approved in 24 hours.
2. **Buyers shop confidently** — See the verified badge. First order is escrowed automatically.
3. **Trust compounds** — Every completed order builds the merchant’s public score.
