Network methodology

Routing should be explainable.

QuoteCapture's public methodology describes the categories used by the network without exposing private provider scores, live lead data or routing secrets.

Lead envelope

• site/form/version identifiers
• route code and priority
• landing/referrer/UTM attribution
• funnel timestamps and freshness
• consent/privacy-notice version
• dedupe and expiry windows

Provider shortlist factors

• service capability
• geographic coverage
• lead freshness and urgency
• provider capacity state
• availability and response history
• quality/complaint/security signals

Routing is not an endorsement or guarantee. A provider remains independent and responsible for its qualifications, pricing, service, permits, representations and customer relationship.

Provider identity and lifecycle

Provider applicants receive an application identifier. A permanent provider_id is issued only after activation/review. Provider status changes submitted on the public site are verification requests; they do not alter live routing automatically.

Commercial-routing integrity

Payment, sponsorship or a commercial relationship must not secretly override required service capability, geography, lead freshness, provider availability or safety/quality gating. If a future paid placement affects public prominence, it should be disclosed separately from ordinary routing logic.

Provider review cadence

Provider profiles should be re-reviewed when qualifications, service area, capacity, complaint/security signals or business status materially change, and on a reasonable periodic cadence.

Lifecycle

Lead records can move through received → qualified → routed → accepted/contacted → quoted → won/lost/closed, with timestamps and append-only lifecycle events in the private control layer.
