What Is Type A Eligibility?

Type A eligibility is AI Verified’s track-specific public evidence standard — the bar between noise and a citable selective public identity record.

Summary

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 optional domain-attested packaging on top)

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.

Is Type A the same as Gold?
No. Type A is eligibility for a public record. Gold is optional domain attestation packaging.

Can any business apply?
You can request review; publication requires meeting the Type A evidence bar for your track.
