How we verify and publish profiles

We do not publish a profile just because we scraped something from HTML. Our standard requires verifiable facts, clear structure, and a trust/provenance layer.

Required baseline

• Official site or another clear official source.
• Basic identity, contacts, and geography.
• Clear description of services and specialization.
• Separation of confirmed facts from unknown claims.

Quality statuses

• ready: profile passes quality gate and can be delivered/published.
• needs_review: profile can be improved but is not safe for automatic paid delivery.
• blocked: profile lacks critical quality signals and requires manual intervention.

Expert profile flow

For the higher-tier profile we use a structured questionnaire, collect fit/not-fit constraints, strengthen official routes, and improve recommendation logic. This is manual quality work, not just adding more text.
