Sponsorship Disclosure
CVC may offer vendor-side commercial routes such as profile claim, sponsored placement, and paid access paths. These routes must remain distinct from platform-reviewed evidence and neutral ranking logic.
Governance pages
Sponsored placement
Where vendors pay for sponsored placement or enhanced visibility, that status should be visible and should not be mistaken for an organic endorsement, verified review outcome, or neutral rank.
Review integrity
Sponsorship, subscription, or commercial access does not entitle a vendor to delete, rewrite, or suppress approved review content. Review moderation remains a separate trust and governance process.
Vendor commercial routes may include profile claim, response access, sponsored placement, activity updates, and active RFP access.
Neutral evidence, platform-reviewed scoring, and public review context should remain separate from paid visibility logic.
CVC may also offer sponsor-side paid support for shortlist shaping, bid defence, and contract negotiation. Those services should be described as advisory or managed support services, not as neutral public ranking outputs.
Where there is paid placement, paid access, or managed support, the platform should use clear labelling so users can distinguish commercial services from neutral evidence.
