What shipped

Credit Index now offers a public decide path for the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada: estimate, eligibility screen, Index Verified shortlist when available, and an introduction request. When the Verified shortlist is empty, inquiries route with Verified preference and alert operations.

Index Verified

Founding cohort rules require a domain-evidenced claim and manual review. Index Verified is Credit Index methodology. It is not a CRA, IRS, HMRC, or other regulator endorsement, and it does not certify tax positions.
