Available public-record fields and checks depend on the source, jurisdiction, and configured workflow.

Evidence source: Washington State Department of Labor & Industries — L&I’s Verify guidance describes contractor registration or license, workers’ compensation, safety-citation, and surety-bond lawsuit information. Public records remain subject to L&I’s own disclaimer and update schedule.

Build a verified contractor market foundation

Researchable records, source context, and review-ready data

Verified contractor database

TrustGate can organize Washington State L&I Verify information and configured sources into a documented review workflow. L&I says its Verify tool can surface contractor registration or license status, workers’ compensation coverage, safety citations, and surety-bond lawsuits. Users should confirm current records with the responsible authority.

Enriched account context

Configured enrichment can add contact information, digital presence, market signals, source URLs, and timestamps so teams have relevant research context before they engage a contractor.

Source-aware review workflow

Configured rules can surface conditions such as status changes, citations, or bond-related records for manual review. Teams remain responsible for their outreach and compliance decisions.

Segment territory, research needs, and prepare outreach

A practical research and prioritization layer for your sales motion

Segment territory and trade

Create a target job scoped to HVAC, electrical, or concrete contractors and a selected county or territory. TrustGate organizes matching contractor records from configured sources, replacing manual spreadsheet building and disconnected list research.

Research needs before outreach

Configured enrichment can gather website, web-search, public business-profile, and social-presence context. Teams use the resulting account research to identify relevant needs and prepare a more informed outreach approach.

Personalized outreach and follow-up support

TrustGate can organize fit criteria, research notes, and recommended next actions so teams can prepare personalized outreach and route qualified conversations into their CRM or FluxGate workflow.

Configured refresh and review steps for an evolving contractor market

Configured evidence refresh

TrustGate refreshes configured sources according to the client’s approved schedule and source availability. Teams should still verify current public records with the responsible authority before relying on them.

Operational visibility

The platform can track provider call counts, quota usage, refresh-job health, and stale records according to the agreed deployment. Monitoring and escalation requirements are confirmed with each client.

Designed around your market

TrustGate begins with the selected sources, territories, and specialty trades. Additional sources and jurisdictions can be evaluated as client requirements and authoritative data availability evolve.

Enterprise-Grade AI. Built for the Real World of Contracting.

TrustGate is platform-agnostic — it connects to official government data sources, third-party enrichment providers, and your existing tools without locking you into a single vendor. Compliance decisions are always deterministic and auditable. The underlying infrastructure is containerized, cloud-deployable, and production-hardened from day one.
