What public proof means
Every enrolled dealer will receive an explicit route, operating status, source policy, and evidence trail. We publish what is working and what still requires dealer or human verification.
- Dealer and rooftop identity with permission
- Public infrastructure and feed health
- Inventory, pricing, and availability authority
- Claimed protocol profiles and conformance evidence
- Last observation and freshness requirements
The dealer-only dashboard remains private. Public status shows system health; shopper queries, inventory age, internal review flags, and operational details stay behind dealer authentication.
