Reads the same trader projection that powers public profiles, search cards, comparison, and shortlist checks.
Cowboy Checker
Cowboy Checker
Check a trader name before you call. Search the TypeScript trust engine for public profile evidence, review coverage, platform presence, company details, and risk signals.
What the check reads
Matching runs against the public supply projection, then scores profile strength and risk indicators in the application layer. It is designed for the moment before a homeowner calls, shortlists, or invites a trader into a quote conversation, and it keeps thin or missing evidence visible instead of hiding it behind a generic profile score.
Highlights review count, average rating, and how many public marketplace or website sources back the record.
Combines missing evidence, operating status, profile depth, and credential gaps into one plain-English verdict.
Separates official register evidence from marketplace badges and self-asserted claims so a good-looking listing does not overstate what has actually been verified.
Public profile match
Finds known trading names, legal names, profile slugs, service categories, and local operating evidence before you shortlist.
Risk signals
Calls out sparse reviews, thin platform coverage, missing contact details, inactive company status, and weak profile history.
Decision record
Links back to the full profile so the homeowner can inspect reviews, platform evidence, photos, endorsements, and credentials.
Before you call
Use the verdict with the evidence, not instead of it.
- Compare review volume with the trader's claimed experience and service area.
- Open the profile when the checker flags missing credentials, low source spread, or company-status gaps.
- Keep quotes, deposits, insurance, and guarantee terms in writing before work starts.
Common checks
Run the checker on a known trader name, company name, or the trading name printed on a quote.
