Trust & verification
Trust you can verify
On iVendorz, trust is kept simple and honest: verification is earned and shown on the platform — not a score you have to decode, and not something a supplier sets themselves.
What “Verified” means
A supplier either carries the Verified mark or they don’t — there’s no “pending” or “unverified” label to interpret. The mark is shown by the platform based on checks it performs; a supplier can never grant it to themselves. That’s the only trust signal we show publicly, on purpose.
How we keep trust honest
A few rules keep trust meaningful — and keep it from being gamed.
Verification is earned
The Verified mark reflects checks the platform performs on a supplier. It's earned and shown on the platform — never something a vendor can switch on for themselves.
Signals are kept separate
iVendorz keeps its trust factors independent, so no single factor can inflate another and none can be gamed. What you see is a straightforward status, not a manufactured number.
No public score, no ranking
We deliberately show trust as a simple Verified mark — not a public score, band, or leaderboard. Suppliers aren't ranked for you, and standing can't be bought.
Your private view stays private
Anything you decide about a supplier for your own organization stays private to you — it never becomes a public signal, and it never affects anyone else's standing.
