Olorato does not treat verification as a decorative badge. Construction verification answers one question: would I allow this person onto my own site? That is the standard.
Olorato Verified · Checked 14 August 2026. Every verified mark carries the date it was checked - and it expires.
The badge only ever says what Olorato actually knows. The emailed code earns the first rung and no more.
A working email confirmed a real, contactable sender. Not identity, not trade, not workmanship.
An operator did the basic checks - identity and contact, phone, location, declared trade - and approved publication.
The deeper published standard passed. Dated, reconfirmed periodically, and set to expire.
Enough to establish a usable listing, not the deeper checks.
Deeper checks, dated, and set to expire.
A working email confirmed a real, contactable sender - the honest floor, nothing more.
An operator did the basic checks and approved publication.
The deeper checks passed, at a published date that expires.
It means one thing only: a working email address completed the confirmation gate, so the sender is real and contactable. It does not prove identity, phone ownership, trade, location or workmanship - and it is not Listed. It is the honest floor of the ladder: a confirmed submission, nothing more.
Listed is basic marketplace visibility. An operator has confirmed enough to establish a usable listing - identity and contact, a valid phone number, a general location and a self-declared trade - but has not made the deeper Tier 2 checks. Listed is not Verified, and it is a step beyond a bare Submission Confirmed. There is no ambiguity between them.
It means Olorato performed the published checks and had a reasonable basis to admit this provider to that verification tier at the stated time. Depending on the provider it can include government ID, business identity, trade status, equipment control, reviewed previous work, contacted references and a physical inspection where feasible. The verification date is published, and verification expires - trust is not permanent because someone once passed a check.
No. Verification is never insurance. It is a check performed at a stated time, not a guarantee of workmanship. That is more credible, and more useful, than a promise no one can keep.
No. Providers may later pay for visibility, featured placement, opportunity alerts or expanded profiles. They may never pay for Verified or for higher reliability. Those are earned.
Privately. Over time Olorato learns who answers, who arrives, who completes work, who abandons jobs and who is hired again. This market memory - not a crude star rating - is how ranking gradually reflects genuine delivery behaviour.
