Founding Vendor

Get visible where recruitment-tech buyers are actively evaluating tools.

During the launch cohort, Founding combines two clearly labelled Sponsored Spotlights on relevant buyer-intent pages with a maintained buyer-facing evidence profile for 12 months.

Sponsored visibility buys attention, never the verdict. Rankings, comparisons and recommendations remain independent.

The distinction

Claimed keeps facts accurate. Founding adds paid visibility and maintained buyer evidence.

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. During the launch cohort, Founding adds clearly labelled visibility on two relevant buyer-intent pages and the operational work of structuring and maintaining the evidence a serious buyer normally has to piece together across demos, decks, documentation and sales calls.

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.

Includes 2 Sponsored Spotlights on relevant buyer-intent pages

The first 5 accepted vendors join while the format is still being refined around what buyers actually use. The launch year combines the two clearly labelled Spotlights with the maintained buyer evidence layer. 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.

During the launch offer, Founding pays for clearly labelled sponsored visibility plus 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 the complete free route for keeping factual information accurate. Founding is the commercial launch package: two clearly labelled Sponsored Spotlights on relevant buyer-intent pages plus 12 months of structured buyer evidence and maintenance. The Spotlights sit outside editorial ordering.
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.
