Three applicant tracks

Different subjects need different evidence.

Individual

  • Authenticated applicant controls the pilot account
  • Public identity or professional presence matches the bounded claim
  • Public work, register, credential, or assessment evidence supports the claim
  • Limitations and unresolved inconsistencies are recorded

Business

  • Applicant declares authority to represent the organisation
  • Public registry, domain, trading, or professional evidence supports existence
  • The business name and public presence are consistently linked
  • The result names exactly which business facts were checked

AI agent

  • The authenticated applicant accepts accountable ownership
  • The agent is named and tied to a described owner relationship
  • Public capability evidence supports a narrow agent claim
  • Model, tool, permissions, security, or performance claims are never inferred without evidence

Manual review method

How a decision is reached

  1. 01
    Scope the claim

    The reviewer rewrites broad marketing language into a testable public statement.

  2. 02
    Inspect each source

    Public HTTPS references are opened manually. CompanyConnect does not silently fetch or enrich them.

  3. 03
    Compare and challenge

    Names, dates, ownership, capability, source authority, and contradictions are checked within the track.

  4. 04
    Record a reason

    Approve, reject, or request more information with applicant-facing wording and an audit event.

  5. 05
    Issue and monitor

    Approved records receive a one-year status page with renewal, suspension, revocation, complaint, and appeal routes.

Evidence accepted in this pilot

Public business registers, public professional registers, official public profiles, public portfolio or repository pages, public assessment results, and other lawful non-sensitive HTTPS sources that directly support the stated claim.

Evidence not accepted here

Government ID images, selfies, biometrics, bank records, health data, passwords, private client material, confidential contracts, or any document requiring secure upload, malware scanning, restricted retention, or independent identity/KYB processing.

Decision and recourse

Every outcome has a next step.

Approve

All required checks support the bounded public scope. A live Company-issued pilot credential is created.

More information

A specific gap or contradiction can be resolved by the applicant without starting again.

Reject or challenge

The decision names why the evidence did not support the claim. Eligible applicants can appeal through a private case.
