A practical marketplace onboarding flow
Collect the contractor's identity and license number, verify the exact record, and use business-name search for discovery when the number is missing.
- Normalize the source result into your onboarding model.
- Evaluate status, classification, and identity together.
- Send no-match, ambiguous, or adverse results to human review.
- Reverify later according to your risk policy.
Integrate once across supported authorities
Use one request model across CSLB, DBPR, NYC DCWP and DOB, TDLR, and Washington L&I instead of maintaining a separate ingestion and normalization pipeline for each source.
