Type A eligibility is the gate for publication of a selective public identity record on AI Verified. It is not “anyone with a website.” It is track-specific public evidence that an organisation can be observed as a real business without requiring encyclopaedic notability.
Why selectivity exists
Open directories that accept every submission become spam surfaces. Selective eligibility preserves signal so passports remain useful to humans and machines. Registry vs directory.
Tracks
Local storefront, local service-area, national/international, ecommerce, marketplace sellers, SaaS, nonprofit, and religious organisations present different public evidence. Rules differ by track while sharing a common idea: observable, consistent identity facts.
What Type A is not
- Not paid directory placement
- Not a ChatGPT ranking package
- Not automatic import of every scraped listing without classification
- Not Gold (Gold is the optional fuller identity. It is not the website check)
Process
Search the registry, request review if needed, meet evidence standards, receive a public passport when classified. Type A page · Type A classification · Getting started.
