Anonymous to the public.
Honest references, because reviewers are protected.
Anonymity is built into the architecture, not painted on the page. Reviewer identity and evidence never share a database table with what you read.
Practical guides
Run the check that fits your deal.
Questions, answered.
Only businesses that have completed verification: a verified person, an incorporated and actively trading company, and proof they represent it. Each reference also needs commercial evidence, such as invoices, bills of lading, contracts, or customs and shipping paperwork, showing the two companies actually traded.
Every review comes from a verified business and requires evidence of a real commercial relationship. Reviews remain anonymous.
