For suppliers and manufacturers
Participation improves the evidence. It does not buy favourability.
See how open sources describe your firm, correct what is wrong, add a source that establishes what is right, or nominate a firm that is missing. No account, no fee, no upload.
Supplier action
Correct a record or nominate a firm.
The undertaking
Four things a supplier can rely on
- 01
Evidence, not favourability
A correction can only change what the evidence supports. There is no paid tier, no featured listing, no way to buy a status. Sponsorship of a brief cannot touch inclusion, status, or conclusions.
- 02
Unverified is not deficient
It means no adequate open source was found for a material claim. Many well-run firms are simply not described in the open record. The fix is a source, and it costs nothing.
- 03
Absence is not a finding
A firm missing from a register was not described in the source classes searched. Nomination takes one form and is reviewed by a person.
- 04
Self-declared is labelled, not hidden
What a firm says about itself is recorded, marked Self-reported, and kept distinct from what a third-party source establishes. Both are visible; neither is disguised as the other.
What a status means for you
A status is not a grade.
Each status is defined in the open Evidence Vocabulary v0.1, which is the authority for its name and meaning.
- Evidence status: established. Reviewed
- A named reviewer read the source in context and recorded that it directly supports the claim as worded.
- Evidence status: partial. Supported
- One or more open sources are consistent with the claim, but the support is indirect, secondary, self-declared, or not yet reviewed in context.
- Evidence status: conflict. Disputed
- A named reviewer found credible sources or parties in conflict.
- Evidence status: open. Unverified
- The claim is material to the decision and no adequate open source has been found, or the only source has aged out of its window.
- Evidence status: open. No claim
- Nothing has been asserted about this capability, so there is nothing to grade.
Moving a claim from Unverified to Reviewed takes one open source that states it and a reviewer’s reading. It never takes a payment, and it cannot be done for you by a sponsor.
Correction flow
Six steps. No sign-in.
- 01 Identify the record and the claim reference, e.g. R-014.2.
- 02 State your relationship to the firm.
- 03 Describe the correction in plain words.
- 04 Cite the public source that supports it — a registry, an award record, a certificate register.
- 05 Receive a submission reference. A reviewer reads the source.
- 06 An accepted change is appended as a new dated evidence row; the change history records it.
Stated limits
What a correction cannot do
- 01
A correction cannot establish what no open source shows.
If the only support for a claim is the firm’s own statement, the claim stays Supported at best. That is a limit of the method, stated openly, not a judgment.
- 02
Confidential evidence cannot be submitted through the site.
Describe only the category of evidence and request secure follow-up. Any arrangement to receive it is made separately and is never through a public form.
- 03
A claim on your record does not have to be one you made.
A claim can originate from an award record or a certificate register. If it is wrong, say so with the source; a named reviewer records the claim as Disputed while it is settled.
