Directory owner guidance

Clear requirements, accurate matching, and durable listing quality help everyone.

The directory-owner library focuses on operational documentation and public value, not techniques for increasing registry priority.

01

Document submission requirements

Explain accepted products, required fields, account behavior, verification, assets, review timing, fees, and the public result.

02

Improve product matching

Use clear audience, category, platform, region, language, pricing-model, and exclusion rules to reduce irrelevant submissions.

03

Protect public listing quality

Provide ownership, correction, update, removal, privacy, and contact routes that support accurate long-term public records.

Documentation outcome

Published requirements should make the submission result more predictable.

Each documented input should help a builder prepare correctly or help the directory reject an inapplicable product before a write begins.

Published requirement

What the directory documents publicly.

Useful outcome

What that documentation enables.

Field Published requirement Useful outcome
Requirements Current public fields, accepted products, account rules, verification, assets, and result states. Builders and automation can prepare accurate materials before opening the form.
Free path Complete fee disclosure and a genuine route to a useful listing without mandatory payment. The target can qualify for a free product campaign without a hidden final-step condition.
Matching Audience, category, platform, region, language, pricing, and known exclusions. Inapplicable products are skipped instead of creating noise for the directory.
Ownership Claim, correction, update, removal, and responsible contact routes. Public listings can remain accurate after the initial submission.

Publication gate

Only reviewed content reaches this index.

Public entries include a direct answer, primary prompt, evidence status, visible limitations, update owner, related pages, and a material update date. Drafts generate no public route.

The extended directory-owner guide is still in review.

The public audit guidelines and application preview are available now. The extended guide remains unpublished until the production verification and status workflow is connected.
