= Veritism =

Veritism is a non-profit brand managed by a for-profit marketing company called Three Stars Marketing LLC (TSM Global) with the goal of embedding the search for the truth as a basic virtue in each segment of society, without presupposing what that truth might be. To get to the truth Veritism promotes four supporting critical values: open-mindedness, critical-thinking, value creation, creativity and proper usage of scientific methods.

Veritism's revenue model revolves around charging membership fees to scientists and other individuals who want to better promote truthful, usually scientific discoveries. WIth its service, Veritism is providing additional support to PR departments of universities, making explainer videos for new peer-reviewed papers and by undertaking systematic lobbying activities on behalf of its members.

History
Veritism was first created in 2016 as an informal gathering by a group of anonymous civic activists and entrepreneurs, without any direct intellectual or financial influence from the previous iteration of Veritism, which was a socio-philosophical ideology promoted by the "Veritism Foundation" (today apparently defunct). In 2017, TSM Global started growing and managing the Veritism brand. Due to legal issues of receiving membership payments from different places in the world, payments processing is managed by a non-profit organization called Equilibrium - THe Omega Project. It is claimed without evidence, that one of Veritism's co-founders is a relative to the cryptical Satoshi Nakamoto, which is a name for the founder, or the founders of Bitcoin.

Value proposition
Veritism does not promote the ultimate truth but it says that different people for different reasons accept different opinions they consider truthful. However, Veritism accepts that there is a hierarchy of truths and the more the values of open-mindedness, critical thinking, value creation and creativity are present, people should be able to reach better and deeper truths without managing or showing what that hierarchy of truths is. In line with the Pyramid theory that two of its early founders developed, people on different levels of the pyramid will accept different truths for different reasons. All of them will have their own perception of the proper pyramidal distribution.

vReview
Veritism promotes a novel type of peer review that should make science more popular and influential in the society. Its basic premise is advocating proper rewards for scientists who as Veritism claims, currently deceive themselves that money is not important for their wellbeing. vReview promotes proper compensations for reviewers of scientific papers, editors in scientific journals and writers of papers that improve the civilization. Its basic claim is that people who want to work for free as editors or reviewers do it due to irrational political reasons which have its effect on the quality of the work produced. vReview promotes sharing of knowledge via explainer videos and short introduction while advocating for a change in how current peer-reviewed papers are written in order to increase the productivity of the scientific community.

vTrends
vTrends is part of the Veritism that aims to commercialize scientific discoveries faster and bring part of the monetary benefits to universities and scholars. Its basic premise is that ideas and knowledge is given to certain people and they need to have some benefits of producing that knowledge aside from affective non-monetary rewards like reputation and attention.

vTherapy
vTherapy is a project that wants to make people live lives free of guilt or sarrow. Its goal is to provide cutting-edge scientific consulting and coaching that eliminates as much as possible the biases of therapists that cannot untangle their subjectivity from the counseling sessions. Clients and vConusltants as they are called, spend a lot of time preparing for sessions due to which sessions cost more than average sessions or around 500 USD per hour of face-to-face time. An accredited therapist can apply to have exclusive vTherapy rights in their counties and get vTherapy training. vTherapy has a measurement approach to track the success of therapists while aiming each therapist to retain score above 9 on a 10 point scale.
