The problem
Student discount sites are usually a wall of cards with no date on them. A deal that expired two years ago sits next to one that's still live, presented with the exact same confidence. Nothing on the page tells you which is which, so you have to click through and find out yourself, every time.
The approach
Perqora treats verification as the product, not a footnote. Every benefit carries a status (verified, needs review, stale, or unverified) and a last-checked date, rendered the way a build status shows up in a CI dashboard, because that's the honest register for this kind of claim. See how it works for exactly what each status means and how a benefit moves between them.
What "verified" actually means here
The catalog is seeded from real, publicly documented student programs (the GitHub Student Developer Pack, JetBrains, Azure for Students, and others like them). Being seeded from a real program is not the same as being independently reconfirmed against the provider's live page. A newly seeded benefit is marked "needs review" until someone checks the actual current offer and confirms it still holds. That's a deliberate, visible state, not a bug, and not something to hide behind a confident-looking green checkmark.
Who maintains this
Perqora is an open-source, community-maintained project. It is not a company, has no funding, and has no team to introduce, just a public codebase anyone can read, run, or submit changes to. The source is on GitHub.
Help keep it accurate
Know a real student benefit that isn't listed, or spotted one that's gone stale? Both are useful. Submit a benefit to add one to the review queue.
