Qualified by evidence, not a phone call
A profile earns its standing from a record you can check, not from who vouched for whom over the phone. This is coming to the network. Register your interest and you are on it the day it opens.
A record you can check
Every part of a profile points back to a real record on the network, so standing is earned from what someone has actually done, not from a reference call.
Verified identity
verified ID credentialA real, checked identity behind the profile, so you know who you are dealing with before the work starts.
Trade licence
licence credential with verification statusThe licence on record, checked and flagged the moment it lapses, so an expired ticket cannot pass as current.
Insurance
insurance credential with expiryThe cover on record with its expiry watched, so you are not the one who finds out it ran out.
Completed projects
completed post-award engagementsThe jobs actually finished on the network, not a list of claims, so the track record is the work itself.
Two-way rating
rating average + count (RatingAggregate)Both sides rate each job, and the running average and the number behind it are shown together, so one glowing review cannot stand in for a track record.
Dispute history
post-award dispute recordWhere a job went to a dispute, it is on the record, so the picture is honest rather than airbrushed.
Volume confidence
volume-confidence factor (CONFIDENCE_FULL_AT)A thin record is pulled toward the middle until enough jobs are in, so a brand new profile with one rating does not outrank a long, proven history.
Why one review does not make a track record
A record earns its weight as the jobs add up. A profile with a handful of ratings is held toward the middle until enough work is behind it, so a proven history is never outranked by a single glowing review.
Building
A record is building. 4 of 10 jobs in, still weighted toward the middle.
Established
An established record, with enough jobs behind it to stand on its own.
Coming to the network
The network is being readied and is not yet open. Where a credential is checked live against the issuer, that check is being wired in. Until then a profile joins on the evidence it submits and a person on our team verifies it. This is not a guarantee of any trade or any work.
