# Prevouched > Prevouched audits offshore software agencies against a public rubric, lists the ones that pass in a directory, issues a revocable verified badge, and — on supported engagements — puts a US-based liaison on the client's calls. Prevouched never writes code, never manages the project, and is never a party to the client–agency contract. Clients hire and pay the agency directly. ## What Prevouched is - A vetting service, a directory, and a revocable trust badge for offshore and nearshore software agencies. - The audit is a public five-pillar rubric: technical, past-work, references, communications, security. Each pillar is scored L0–L4 with a published "meets bar" (L2) and a composite tier floor. - Badges are revocable and every revocation is published live at [/directory/revocations](https://prevouched.com/directory/revocations). ## What Prevouched is not - Not a marketplace. Prevouched does not take a cut of the engagement, does not intermediate payments, and does not sign the client's contract. - Not a delivery firm. Prevouched does not write code, run standups, or ship features. - Not a permanent seal. Badges expire and can be revoked for cause. ## Primary pages - [Home](https://prevouched.com/): what Prevouched is, live directory stats. - [Directory](https://prevouched.com/directory): every currently vetted agency, filterable by region and stack. - [Revocation log](https://prevouched.com/directory/revocations): every suspended or revoked badge. - [Verify a badge](https://prevouched.com/verify): paste any badge ID or profile URL to confirm status. - [Rubric](https://prevouched.com/rubric): the full public scoring rubric — pillars, levels, tier floors, revocation triggers. - [Vetting process](https://prevouched.com/agencies/vetting): step-by-step audit protocol. - [Pricing](https://prevouched.com/agencies/pricing): the three tiers (Verified, Backed, Managed) and what each buys. - [How it works](https://prevouched.com/agencies/how-it-works): the eight-phase operational arc from application to renewal. - [For clients](https://prevouched.com/clients): the buyer's view — loss patterns, risk ledger, what the US liaison does. - [Buyer's guide](https://prevouched.com/buyers-guide): plain-English guide to hiring offshore. - [Playbooks](https://prevouched.com/playbooks): pitch calls, escalation recovery, milestone gates. - [Compare](https://prevouched.com/compare): Prevouched vs. references, marketplaces, RFPs, in-house vetting. - [FAQ](https://prevouched.com/faq): common buyer and agency questions. - [Glossary](https://prevouched.com/glossary): defined vocabulary used across the site and rubric. - [Trust & substantiation](https://prevouched.com/trust): what the mark asserts, decomposed. - [Legal](https://prevouched.com/legal): endorsement scope, liability posture. - [Changelog](https://prevouched.com/changelog): dated rubric and product changes. - [Apply](https://prevouched.com/apply): agency intake form. - [Contact](https://prevouched.com/contact): routed channels and SLAs. ## Extended reference - [/llms-full.txt](https://prevouched.com/llms-full.txt): concatenated long-form reference for citations. - [/sitemap.xml](https://prevouched.com/sitemap.xml): full URL list with lastmod.
