Changelog
Every change, dated. In writing.
The rubric, the policies, and the directory all evolve. Prevouched publishes every material change with a date and the version it ships under. Vetted agencies are notified directly when a change requires re-attestation.
- 2026-08-14Directory 1.7Directory
Revocation ledger published, ahead of the first revocation.
- 01The public ledger at /directory/revocations is live and currently empty. No mark has been suspended or revoked, because none has been issued yet.
- 02Suspended and revoked listings resolve on /verify and /directory/revocations even after de-listing, so a badge never simply disappears.
- 03Verification page for a revoked badge now returns the same status via the JSON API and the SVG badge. No divergence between surfaces.
- 2026-08-02Product 1.8Product
Applicant confirmation email sent on every public form.
- 01Every intake, intro request, and contact message now sends a written confirmation to the sender with expected response timing.
- 02Confirmations are transactional-only (no marketing) and sent from notify.prevouched.com.
- 03Owner notifications continue in parallel; both use the same idempotency key to prevent duplicates on retry.
- 2026-07-28Policy 2026-06Policy
Reviewer panel structure published; recusal policy formalized.
- 01Three panel seats are defined on the About page: managing reviewer (filled) plus two reserved seats, named publicly when they are filled.
- 02Any reviewer with prior commercial ties to an applicant recuses; a second seat signs the file in their place.
- 03The verification page will surface 'reviewer of record' on the next file-detail iteration.
- 2026-07-18Product 1.6Product
Badge embed kit published in the agency portal.
- 01Light and dark SVG badges, PNG downloads, and copy-paste snippets for a site footer, a proposal, and an email signature.
- 02Every embed reads status live at /badge/{slug}.svg. A screenshot of the badge is explicitly not a valid check.
- 2026-07-04Directory 1.5Directory
Buyer shortlist and intro history shipped.
- 01Buyers can shortlist up to six listings, compare gates and pillar scores side by side, and send one brief to the whole shortlist.
- 02Past intro requests are retrievable at /intro-history through an emailed link, and always show each agency's status today rather than the status at request time.
- 2026-06-04Policy 2026-05Policy
Success-fee attribution codes published in plain language.
- 01prevouched_sourced, liaison_assisted, and agency_sourced are now defined on the pricing page and in the glossary.
- 02Liaison-assisted deals require a written participation log on file; absent log defaults to agency_sourced.
- 2026-05-01Rubric v1.2Rubric
Security pillar reweighted; subcontractor disclosure becomes a hard gate.
- 01Security pillar weight raised from 18% to 22%.
- 02Undisclosed material subcontracting reclassified from L1 deduction to L0. Automatic disqualification.
- 03Re-attestation window for already-vetted agencies: 60 days.

Covered-call definition tightened; standups now formally excluded.

- 2026-03-20Directory 1.4Directory
Dispute and appeal flow published.
- 01An agency can contest a gate result, a pillar score, or a status change from the portal, with evidence attached to the file.
- 02Every dispute carries a staff response deadline and a written resolution: upheld, amended, or declined.
- 2026-02-08Product 1.3Product
Verification page redesigned; revocation reason now public.
- 01When a mark is revoked, the verification page shows the date and the rubric criterion that triggered review.

Public directory and live-rendered verification page launch.
- 01Directory, verification page, and JSON API go live with applications open and no agency yet admitted.

- 2025-11-30Policy 2025-06Policy
Money-flow invariant added to the master agreement.
- 01Prevouched will never be a payee on the agency↔client contract. Enshrined in the master agreement and on the trust page.
- 02Managed-tier opt-in prime/SLA layer carved out as the sole, named exception, subject to per-engagement legal review.
