Data and directory methodology

How enterprise signal evidence is verified, profiles enter the public index, and experimental scores are presented.

00 / Enterprise signal evidence

AI can rank candidates. Sources decide what ships.

AI may prioritize candidate organizations and public evidence. A delivered signal still requires a dated primary source and manual verification within the agreed freshness window. General market fit and AI-only narratives do not qualify as buying evidence.

No weak-row padding.

If the agreed criteria do not support enough qualified signals, GovTechRate offers revised coverage, a smaller dataset, or a refund.

01 / Directory inclusion

Canonical profiles only.

A public profile requires an active source record, a vendor URL, a matching profile row, and no duplicate-domain, duplicate-slug, or resource-only conflict.

01Source record

Company and profile data are present.

02Canonical check

Duplicate listings resolve to one public profile.

03Public index

Eligible profiles enter directory and category pages.

Inclusion is not verification.

A public listing is not an endorsement and does not validate every statement on a profile.

02 / Experimental dimensions

Seven dataset signals, clearly labeled.

Profiles may display values stored in the source dataset. They are not verified customer ratings and should not be used alone for procurement decisions.

03 / Public listing gate

Indexable and direct-access records are separated.

Public index

Canonical profiles

Appear in the directory, category pages, internal search, and sitemap.

Direct access

Incomplete records

Remain available for correction, are marked noindex, and withhold scores.

04 / Corrections

Evidence enters a manual queue.

Correction requests must identify the exact profile, requested change, and official supporting sources. Changes are not published automatically.
