# Review skill endorsements without turning counts into proof of expertise

Original constructed teaching cases, not real accounts, participants or customers.

## Case 1

S1 — Constructed overstated expertise: a member has 12 endorsements for “Data analysis” but only a documented spreadsheet review. Decision: describe the actual review in the recap and retain the count only as profile context if needed. Result: a supported contribution statement; no claim that 12 endorsements certify advanced statistical ability.

## Case 2

S2 — Constructed irrelevant endorsement: one visible endorsement is unwanted, while the skill and other recognition remain useful. Decision: inspect that skill’s member-level display control and check the saved list and order. Result: a scoped display review; no need to delete the whole skill or assume a connection was removed.

## Case 3

S3 — Constructed bilingual cleanup: an English skill label has endorsements and the member wants a German label. Decision: read the permanent-loss warning and choose deliberately whether the label change is worth it. Result: retain, hold or intentional replacement recorded; no promised transfer or recovery of the prior endorsements.
