The supplier directory

One company, one page

A company has exactly one permanent page on this site, at /companies, whichever wing it sits in. Claiming a generated page converts it in place: same address, same history, now editable by the company. That matters because the verification badge links to that address from other companies’ websites, and an address printed on someone else’s site can never change.

How the Products wing is built

The Services and Materials wings list companies that claimed a page and chose a category. The Products wing also lists companies that FDA classifies into a review panel, because a product code they are listed under belongs to it. That is an FDA record and nothing more: it says the company is registered under that classification, not that it works in that category, quotes on that work, or has any relationship with MDM. Every category page says which of its listings is which.

The rules this directory runs on

• Free, permanent, unlimited. No trial, no clock, no conversion cliff. There are no fees anywhere in this network at launch.
• Profiles link out. Real website links, no gated contact details, no toll booth between a buyer and a company.
• Nobody pays to receive a request. Money buys visibility, never access. A sponsored position is labelled wherever it appears.
• No performance figures. We publish no delivery, quality or responsiveness number about any company, because we hold none. A company may describe itself on its own profile, and what it says is its own claim.
• No status on a listing. We publish no regulatory or enforcement status on a directory listing, and a company that is not a member is never labelled on one. A company’s own FDA records are on its page, as records.

Verification

Some listings carry a verification badge. What each wing’s checks are, and the several things they do not cover, are published in full on vetting. Claiming a page is not verification and grants no badge.
