Vetting & Trust Process
What happens before a product goes live on the marketplace?
Before any AI tool or agent is published, it undergoes a structured vetting process to ensure quality, transparency, and enterprise readiness:
Application Review
Vendors submit company credentials, product details, technical architecture, and pricing information.
Documentation Verification
We review compliance certifications, security and data handling practices, use cases or case studies, and client references.
Mandatory Product Demonstration
Every vendor must submit a detailed, unedited demonstration video showing real workflow execution, core features in action, output examples, and use-case scenarios.
Internal Evaluation
Our review committee evaluates product maturity, business clarity, market readiness, and enterprise applicability.
Approval & Trust Tagging
Approved solutions are categorized and may receive relevant verification badges. Only vetted solutions go live on the platform.
Why is the demo video mandatory?
Transparency builds confidence.
Buyers can see the AI solution in real use, reducing ambiguity and improving decision-making.
