Founding Vendor

Give buyers the evidence room they wish every vendor had.

Your website tells buyers about your product. SourcrLab turns the material behind it into a structured, maintained evidence room for comparison: what the product looks like, how implementation works, what the commercial model means, what connects to what, and where each important claim comes from.

The independent analysis stays the same. Founding gives buyers more evidence to decide for themselves.

The distinction

Claimed keeps us accurate. Founding builds the evidence room.

A strong free SourcrLab page can already contain pricing research, fit, trade-offs and alternatives. We do not remove that value to make Founding sellable. Founding adds a different layer: the material a serious buyer normally has to piece together across demos, decks, documentation and sales calls.

ClaimedFounding

Correct factual errors

Official vendor contact on the profile

Product screenshots and demo

Implementation and migration mapped

Pricing mechanics and cost scenarios where evidence allows

Integrations and workflow dependencies mapped

Privacy and security evidence organised

Source provenance on buyer-critical claims

Structured public evidence for search and generative systems

Evidence layer maintained for 12 months

Independent analysis is deliberately not a paid row: best for, not ideal for, trade-offs, alternatives and the bottom line remain independent either way.

What buyers get

Five jobs the evidence room does before a sales call.

See the product

Vendor screenshots and demos are organised around what a buyer needs to understand, with clear labels separating vendor material from SourcrLab observations.

Understand implementation

Migration, onboarding, technical requirements, buyer responsibilities and known unknowns are turned into a practical getting-started view.

Understand the commercial model

We explain published tiers, limits, usage mechanics and cost scenarios where the evidence supports them. Quote-only stays quote-only; we do not invent a number.

Trace the evidence

Important statements are labelled by provenance: official source, vendor supplied, SourcrLab observation, SourcrLab inference or unknown.

Keep it current

For 12 months, material changes to the vendor evidence layer can be incorporated without rebuilding the profile from scratch.

Discoverability

Built for buyers. Structured for modern search.

Clear product identity, buyer use cases, alternatives, provenance, commercial context and maintained freshness do more than make a page easier for humans to compare. They also create a richer public evidence footprint that search engines and generative systems can understand, retrieve and cite when they research the market.

Founding does not buy or guarantee rankings, citations or AI recommendations. It improves the quality and consistency of the evidence those systems can find.

How it works

You provide the material. We do the structuring.

1 · You send

Website and product pages
Deck
Pricing / commercial model
Integrations
Demo and screenshots
Implementation / migration information
Security and compliance material

Use what already exists. No special SourcrLab deck required.

2 · SourcrLab structures

We organise the evidence around buyer questions, mark provenance, preserve unknowns and build the product, implementation, commercial and trust layers into one page.

3 · The firewall stays

You verify vendor-supplied facts. SourcrLab keeps full control of independent analysis. Evidence can change an answer; money cannot.

Founding Vendor membership

First 5 accepted vendors

€500for the first 12 months

The first 5 accepted vendors join while the format is still being refined around what buyers actually use. Renewal after the first 12 months is at the standard Founding Vendor rate applicable at that time.

Current standard rate

€1,200/ year

Annual membership covers the structured vendor evidence layer and its maintenance while membership is active. It does not buy ranking, recommendation or additional independent-analysis effort.

Maintenance

Not a one-off article.

A Founding profile is maintained as a structured evidence layer for the active 12-month membership. When material vendor facts change — for example pricing, integrations, implementation steps, screenshots, product documentation or security information — the evidence layer can be updated without rebuilding the page from scratch.

Unknown stays unknown until there is evidence.

Your payment never affects our analysis.

Founding pays for operational work on the vendor evidence layer. It does not buy rankings, scores, recommendations, reviews, stronger provenance or editorial conclusions.

Evidence can change our analysis. Money can't.

Practical questions

Why not just claim my profile for free?: Because Claimed and Founding solve different problems. Claimed is a complete free route for keeping factual information accurate. Founding is operational work: SourcrLab proactively turns your existing product material into a maintained buyer evidence room. Claimed fixes facts. Founding structures the evidence buyers need to investigate the product themselves.
Does Founding make the review more positive?: No. Best for, not ideal for, trade-offs, alternatives and SourcrLab's conclusion remain independent. Better evidence can change an analysis when the facts genuinely change. Payment cannot.
Does Founding guarantee visibility in ChatGPT or other AI answers?: No. No publisher can guarantee rankings, citations or recommendations in generative systems. Founding improves the depth, structure, provenance and freshness of the public evidence around your product — the kind of information search and generative systems can retrieve and use when they research a market.
What if our pricing is not public?: Then the profile says exactly that. Founding can explain the pricing model, contract mechanics or buyer questions you choose to substantiate, but an unpublished number remains unknown. Commercial status never upgrades an unknown into a fact.
How much work is this for us?: The programme is designed around material you already have. You send it, SourcrLab structures it, and you verify the vendor-supplied facts. We do not ask you to write a new whitepaper for us.

Give serious buyers more than marketing copy.

Put the evidence they need to investigate your product in one maintained place — while SourcrLab's independent analysis remains visibly separate.
