How Our Vetting Works
Every provider in Curatrix is manually reviewed against healthcare-specific criteria. No self-serve listings. No shortcuts.
Two-Stage Evaluation
Providers must pass eligibility screening before being scored and assigned to a tier.
Eligibility Gate
Every provider must pass these requirements to be considered. Failure on any single criterion results in rejection.
- Serves the US healthcare market
- Active company (not defunct or acquired)
- B2B focus (not consumer apps)
- Minimum 1 verifiable healthcare client
- Professional web presence
- No active legal or compliance violations
- Service fits a Curatrix category

Merit-Based Tier System
Tiers reflect verified healthcare expertise and cannot be purchased. Scores are calculated from our rubric—never influenced by payment.

Proven leaders with deep healthcare expertise, strong compliance posture, and significant healthcare client portfolios.
45-69
Solid performers who meet our curated standards and demonstrate genuine healthcare capability.
25-44
Growing companies with healthcare potential. Newer to the space but meeting minimum requirements.
Our Commitment to Transparency
Scoring Criteria Are Public
We publish what we evaluate. Providers and healthcare companies alike can understand exactly what factors contribute to tier placement.
Weightage Remains Confidential
While criteria are transparent, the exact weighting formula is not disclosed. This prevents gaming while maintaining evaluation integrity.
Tiers Cannot Be Purchased
A provider's tier is earned through demonstrated healthcare expertise, compliance posture, and client portfolio—never through payment. Paid visibility (like "Featured" placement) is always clearly labeled.
Regular Re-Evaluation
Scores are not permanent. Providers are re-evaluated annually and when significant changes occur (new certifications, acquisitions, compliance issues).
