Why this is canonical

'Legitimacy' applied to shipments names a specific and growing compliance problem: verifying that shipments are genuine, that parties are who they claim, and that documentation is authentic. It is distinct from fraud detection (reactive) and vetting (party-focused) — it frames the affirmative verification standard.

Where it fits

A few directions this coordinate opens —

Customs and trade compliance
A verification layer for customs agencies, importers, and trade compliance teams that establishes the legitimacy of shipment documentation and declared contents.
Trade compliance, customs brokers, and import/export platforms
Freight fraud prevention
An affirmative legitimacy score or signal for freight transactions — establishing that the shipment, carrier, and documentation are authentic before commitment.
Freight brokers, 3PLs, and logistics risk platforms
