Mission

Make trust real in your state

You're not selling ads. You're building a high-trust network: verified contractors, accountable conduct, and measurable reduction of homeowner harm.

Incentive

Earn commission on measurable growth

Stewards can earn a small percentage of revenue for each certified contractor they sponsor—designed to reward quality and long-term good standing (not short-term volume).

What Stewards Do

Clear responsibilities that scale nationally without chaos.

Recruit contractors who meet the bar

Support onboarding + documentation readiness

Help homeowners understand the trust model

Promote the seal responsibly

Report risks & patterns early

Non-negotiable: Steward status is earned and can be revoked. The seal's value comes from consistent standards, verification, and integrity—no pay-to-play behavior.

Steward Standards

Built to keep the system durable and resistant to manipulation.

Verified identity + business standing (and licensing/insurance where applicable)
Performance expectations tied to documented outcomes (not hype)
Code-of-conduct compliance including conflict-of-interest disclosure
Auditability: activities must be verifiable (referrals, outreach, partner contacts)

Stewards are not employees unless separately contracted. Commission structure and availability may change as systems mature.
