Intentions
Every certification requires an Intention — your reason for visiting that page. Sofia offers 8 intention types:
The 8 Intentions

| Fun | Entertainment | Videos, games, social media |
| Inspiration | Ideas & creativity | Design, portfolios, articles |
| Buying | Shopping & commerce | E-commerce, reviews, deals |
| Music | Music content | Spotify, SoundCloud, playlists |
| Trusted | Sources you trust | Reliable references, verified info |
| Distrusted | Sources you distrust | Misinformation, unreliable content |
Why Intentions Matter
Intentions create semantic meaning in your certifications:
Without intention: "User visited page"
With intention: "User visits page for learning"
This semantic layer enables:
- Interest mapping: Track what topics you study vs. work on
- Trust signals: Mark sources as trusted or distrusted
- Profile building: Your expertise areas emerge from certifications
