Trust signal reference
Trust Badges
Robolist uses a hexagon-framed badge family across four axes — identity, subscription, cohort, and specs. Badges describe profile ownership, identity verification, cohort membership, and spec provenance. They do not raise or lower the Product Score, do not affect ranking, and do not change which features the company can use. See the Methodology page for how the score itself is computed.

Identity — free
Mutually exclusive. Either of these may appear on a free-tier company; only one shows at a time.
| Badge | What it means |
|---|---|
| — none — | The profile is based on publicly available data and has not been claimed by the manufacturer. |
| Claimed | The manufacturer has claimed and manages this Robolist profile. Specs, media, and overrides on the page reflect the company’s own input. |
| Verified | Robolist staff have confirmed the company’s identity via KYB. Strongest free-tier trust signal on the platform. |
Subscription
Replaces the free Verified badge when the company holds an active paid subscription. All paid tiers are also staff-verified.
| Badge | What it means |
|---|---|
| Verified | Active Verified subscription ($999–$1,990/yr). Silver hex marks paid identity verification — distinct from the free green Verified. |
| Pro | Active Pro subscription ($2,990–$4,990/yr). Unlocks more structured content modules on the company’s public page. |
| Enterprise | Active Enterprise contract (custom). Unlocks the full widget set. |
Cohort
Honorary, time-limited badges. They stack alongside Identity or Subscription badges rather than replacing them.
| Badge | What it means |
|---|---|
| Genesis Founder | Awarded to the first 100 manufacturers to claim their Robolist profile. Available on every tier including free. Permanent once earned. |
| Founding 50 | Awarded to the first 50 paying Verified subscribers, who lock the $999/yr founding rate forever. Permanent once earned. |
Specs
Appears inline next to a robot’s spec rows, not next to the company name. Indicates that those specific values were confirmed by a verified operator.
| Badge | What it means |
|---|---|
| Verified specs | A verified operator (a manufacturer or distributor with KYB on file) has confirmed the spec value. Robolist never publishes a numeric confidence score. |
Premium subscriptions and sponsored placements are a separate visibility surface and do not affect the Product Score — see Transparency for active sponsorships and the Methodology page for how rankings are computed.
