Affiliate programs
Every affiliate relationship VerdictPal participates in, with the commission rate and the tool surfaces it applies to. Affiliate links carry the chip below.
What the chip means. Outbound links with a referral code are marked Affiliate link disclosed. VerdictPal earns a referral if you sign up. It does not change the score, the failure modes, or the dossier verdict.. The chip is on the card surface. The score, the failure modes, and the dossier verdict are set before any program is joined. Programs marked pending or declined do not currently have live affiliate links on any card — this table records applications and decisions in advance.

How decisions get made
- The dossier is researched, scored, and published.
- Failure modes are documented and visible on the card surface.
- Only after the verdict ships do we apply to any affiliate program.
- If a program would require us to change the verdict, we decline. The decline gets a row above.
- If a relationship ends or terms change, the row updates and the change is logged on /trust.
