Public Trust Readiness measures whether a company is easy to verify before a conversation starts.
EntityProof looks at the public signals serious decision-makers and automated screening systems can see. The goal is to find trust leaks, explain the risk they create, and identify the highest-impact repairs.
Signal map
Six surfaces shape the first judgment.
A company can be real and still look uncertain if these public signals are missing, inconsistent, too thin, or hard for a reviewer to understand.
Website proof
Founder credibility
Search presence
Third-party proof
Authority profiles
AI and screening readiness
Evidence boundary
The method rewards clarity, not artificial authority.
Only real, verifiable company signals count.
Thin or unclear public proof is treated as a trust leak.
Unapproved numeric weights are not published; review status uses Ready, Needs Work, or High-Risk Gaps.
The check is not an SEO ranking guarantee.
The check is not a compliance, legal, banking, or payment-provider approval service.
Artificial authority, fake reviews, fake offices, fake employees, and rented credibility are excluded.
