No pay-to-rank
Payment does not buy verification, security approval, a higher Skill Score or an undisclosed position in search results.
Current model
The public registry is currently presented without paid placement. Core discovery pages clearly distinguish catalog evidence from commercial content.
Possible revenue sources
API plans
Higher-volume access, organization features or operational support.
Sponsorships
Clearly labelled placements that do not alter organic ranking.
Referrals
Disclosed links where the catalog may receive a commission.
Editorial safeguards
- Commercial relationships are visibly disclosed.
- Organic results retain the same scoring methodology.
- Verification and compatibility follow published criteria.
- Sponsored content is labelled before the user interacts with it.
Our standard
If a revenue relationship could reasonably affect how a user evaluates a listing, we disclose it near the relevant content.
