Provider consent

Signal Passport needs clear approval before public proof.

This page defines the website-side consent language providers should understand before bot installation, delayed public stats, result-sheet publication, proof badge use, or provider response handling.

Access

Review scope

Providers decide what private channel, period, and signal format can be reviewed.

Publication

Delayed proof

Public proof can be delayed, abstracted, partial, or withheld depending on approval and evidence quality.

Independence

No bought outcomes

Commercial participation cannot purchase ranking influence, hidden placement, or a positive conclusion.

Consent states

Approval is not a single yes or no.

The backend should store consent as structured states so public pages can explain exactly what was allowed.

Correction process

Providers can respond. They cannot erase evidence.

A credible proof system needs a correction path without turning verification into reputation management.

Correction request

Provider can identify parser errors, market-data mismatches, missing context, or period exclusions.

Desk review

The Editorial Desk can update labels, caveats, or excluded periods when evidence supports the correction.

Public response

If disagreement remains, a concise provider response can appear beside the limitation notes.

Commercial guardrail

Provider payment funds tooling, not conclusions.

Providers may pay for bot infrastructure, verification operations, result-sheet exports, proof-page hosting, audits, and disclosed sponsorship. Payment does not buy a favorable review, guarantee verification, remove risk caveats, hide losses, or influence editorial rankings.
