Verification spectrum · L1
L1 verification — what it means.
L1 Claimed means a real human at the provider has taken ownership of the listing and populated the structured fields.
Evidence required
- Magic-link to a domain-verified email at the provider
- Profile completeness threshold met (capabilities, customer list, ≥1 project description, ≥1 testimonial)
Decay rule
No automatic decay. If the verified email bounces for >90 days, the listing reverts toward L0 and the previous claimer is contacted.
Examples
A solo founder claiming her shop's listing via a magic-link to her work email.
