Field-level provenance
Six source types: self-declared, company document, public official data, third-party evidence, 8FO review and AI-organised drafts.
WHY IT MATTERS
Not a directory — a source-traceable company record
A conventional directory repeats what companies say about themselves. 8FO VERIFIED records who stated each fact, whether it was reviewed and when, so buyers, search engines and AI systems can read the same evidence.
Explainable scope
Pages state which fields were reviewed, when and on what basis. A higher-priced plan never upgrades a verification level by itself.
Granular consent
Seven independent permissions: public display, search indexing, AI retrieval, matching, third-party sharing, lead brokerage and model training.
Machine-readable
Each published profile gets its own URL, structured data and a sitemap entry, with full HTML rendered on the server.
HOW IT WORKS
Five steps, each one logged
Status and actions stay in one place: companies can track progress and reviewers can trace who did what, when.
Submit company data
Identity, operations and products; fields that do not apply may be left blank.
Upload evidence
PDF / Word / Excel / PPT / images. Storage paths are never exposed.
Set data permissions
Seven separate grants; model training is off by default.
Manual review
Reviewers set the level from evidence and record their findings.
Company confirms
After confirmation, a profile number and public page are created.
DATA PROVENANCE
AI-organised is not the same as verified
AI may organise an introduction, extract tags or draft SEO copy, but it must not invent certificates, export records, capacity figures or client lists. All generated drafts are labelled "AI-organised (pending confirmation)" and require company confirmation plus review.
| Source type | Meaning | Counts as verified? | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Self-declared | Entered by the company, not checked by 8FO | No | Self-declared |
| Company document | File supplied for manual checking | No | Company document |
| Public official data | From a citable public official source | Only with citation | Public official data |
| Third-party evidence | Evidence supplied by a third party | Only with citation | Third-party evidence |
| Reviewed by 8FO | Checked against evidence and logged | Yes, for marked fields | Reviewed by 8FO |
| AI-organised | Program-generated draft | No | AI-organised |

About the nature of this service
- 8FO VERIFIED is a commercial information review and display service. It is not a government-recognised certification, administrative licence, product certification, or a certification conclusion issued by a certification body.
- No ratings, reviews or paid ranking are displayed. We do not promise search engine indexing or recommendation by any AI platform.
- Self-declared information is clearly labelled; a review conclusion applies only to the marked fields and only within its validity period.
- Companies may withdraw permissions, request corrections or raise objections. Withdrawing public display immediately removes the profile from pages and public endpoints.
- Phase 1 payment is an order placeholder plus manually confirmed bank transfer — no online checkout, auto-renewal charging or automated invoicing.
