Claim and identity
A business representative claims an organization and submits evidence. A claim alone never creates a verified badge.
DOCUMENTED TRUST · HUMAN DECISIONS
Verified means reviewed—not merely listed.
One shared trust foundation supports MontrealDirectory.ca and BottinQuébec.ca. Here is what the platform checks, what AI may assist with, and what it will never decide.
Four steps, no silent approvals.
Exact requirements vary by profession. The public badge appears only while all required checks are approved and current.
Documented checks
Required identity, business, licence, insurance, address, and reputation checks are reviewed according to the service involved.
Human decision
An authorized reviewer approves, rejects, or requests more information with a reason preserved in the audit history.
Ongoing eligibility
Verification has an expiry date. Publication, service coverage, availability, and bilingual profiles must also remain current.
AI’S ROLE
AI assists. Rules and people decide.
AI may structure a request, suggest a match order, summarize a conversation, or prepare a draft. It cannot verify a business, publish a profile, send a message, accept a proposal, set a price, or authorize a launch.
- ✓ Eligibility determined by explicit rules
- ✓ Explainable, reviewable results
- ✓ Safe fallback when AI is unavailable
- ✓ No auto-publishing or auto-approval
Current required checks were approved.
It does not guarantee a job outcome or replace your judgment. Review the profile, service scope, verified reviews, and the details of your proposal.
Not paid placement or an automatic endorsement.
A subscription may provide business tools, but it never replaces verification or changes eligibility rules.
