For providers
Help keep capability records accurate
Learn how a future AC Circuit claim or submission path may use official evidence while editorial review and ranking remain independent.
Provider claims, submissions, and publication workflows are not yet open in Release 1. The provider-intake page is a display-only preview.
When it opens, a claim or submission will begin a review process. It will not give a provider a direct publishing path or control over evidence, ranking, or trust labels.
Future claim or submission path
If a provider intake opens, a claimant will identify the existing record, their role and organization, their relationship to the provider or creator, an official domain, repository, or publisher profile, and a preferred verification method. A future new submission may identify the capability, provider or creator, official URL, outcomes, asset form, access and commercial model, requirements, limitations, and relevant permissions or data exposure.
The future public path will accept official links, not executable uploads, archives, skill packages, credentials, private repository access, passwords, or identity documents.
Future evidence and publication review
If implemented, authority confirmation will let a claimant propose corrections and new evidence; it will not mean a capability is safe, effective, endorsed, operationally tested, or fit for a buyer. Any future publication will still depend on applicable evidence, freshness, security, and business-risk gates.
A future review may request changes, approve a record for later publication, publish it, decline it, suspend it, or revoke it. A provider will not directly edit or publish a record.
Neutrality and future fees
Providers will not pay to rank or appear. Future provider fees never affect ranking, authority confirmation, evidence review, publication, or trust labels.
If provider workflows open, ranking will use outcome fit, buyer constraints, evidence quality and freshness, security posture, business-deployment risk, time to value, total-cost considerations, integration and maintenance burden, control and reversibility, and provider availability. Revenue, seller payment, provider prominence, and commercial relationships will not influence ranking.
Frequently asked questions
Is claiming or submitting a record free?
Provider claims and submissions are not open in Release 1. If introduced, claiming an existing record and submitting a new capability will be free and will begin a review process rather than create a direct publishing path.
Who may claim a provider record?
If the future claim path opens, a person with a relationship to the provider or creator may submit a claim with their name, role, business email, organization, official domain, repository, or publisher profile, and a preferred verification method. Alpha will prefer official-domain email and public ownership evidence.
What evidence is required?
A future submission may use official links that support the capability, provider or creator, outcomes, asset form, access and commercial model, requirements, limitations, and relevant permissions or data exposure. AC Circuit may request changes or additional evidence before a future record is published.
Does claiming a record mean it is verified or safe?
No. If a claim process opens, authority confirmation will not mean a capability is safe, effective, endorsed, operationally tested, or fit for a buyer. Future publication will still require applicable evidence, freshness, security, and business-risk gates.
Does AC Circuit perform a security review?
AC Circuit distinguishes source verification, security assessment, business-deployment risk, and operational testing. A directory review is not a security certification, and a record does not imply that AC Circuit assessed or operationally tested the capability.
May I upload a skill file or executable?
No. A future public provider path will accept official links, not executable uploads, archives, skill packages, credentials, private repository access, passwords, or identity documents.
Does AC Circuit charge providers to rank or appear?
No. If provider workflows open, providers will not pay to rank or appear, and provider fees will not affect ranking, authority confirmation, evidence review, publication, or trust labels.
Does AC Circuit need provider consent to list a capability?
No. A source-backed directory record may be listed without provider consent. Listing a record does not establish an affiliation, endorsement, provider relationship, or agency relationship. A future claim or correction path may let providers supply evidence or request changes.
How do corrections and removals work?
Provider claim and submission intake is not open in Release 1. To request a correction or raise a record concern now, email info@accircuit.com. AC Circuit may then review evidence and request changes, update a record, suspend it, revoke it, or decline a request when the record cannot be supported.
When will a submitted capability be published?
No submission workflow is open in Release 1. If introduced, there will be no automatic publication timeline: a submitted capability will move through authority and evidence review and may be published only when applicable evidence, freshness, security, and business-risk gates are met.
