Every claim on this card, traced — 11 claims:

Cost picture read from the company's own page
money-campaign (owner arc 2026-08-25): EVIDENCED ABSENCE — we read their landing page plus the pricing/fees/FAQ/terms subtrees on 2026-08-25 and found no upfront-cost language. Not a guarantee of free; an absence is only as strong as the search that looked for it, and this records the search.
Employee or contractor read from the company's own page
doors-package-v5.md Part 1: their own applicant pages state incoming tutors are classified as Independent Contractors, paid gross untaxed earnings monthly, W-9 then 1099-NEC, with the background check as the final step. Structured rather than left as prose so the non-W2 boundary is queryable evidence
How you get in read from the company's own page
doors-package-v5.md Part 1: tutor.com/apply -> prv.tutor.com/apply/application, create an account at Step 1
How you get paid unproven — carried from an older research method and not yet re-read from a source
Inherited at the v8 migration from the record's evidence class (Verified-official). This claim does not yet say where IT came from; the record does.
Local operating status derived from our own coverage research, not from the company's words
mktcle-reclass (owner ruling 2026-08-26): STRUCTURALLY UNSOURCEABLE from provider property — companies do not state their metro lists, so no re-fetch can ever pay this claim. Reclassified out of the owed pile into the declared class: derived from our own coverage research, not from the company's words.
Sign-up link read from the company's own page
doors-package-v5.md Part 1: tutor.com/apply -> prv.tutor.com/apply/application, create an account at Step 1
Taking new people read from the company's own page
debt-paydown (owner arc 2026-08-26): RE-SOURCED FROM UNKNOWN: their own page, fetched this arc, carries an open application flow — the unknown resolved to taking-people on the source's own surface
Vehicle needed read from the company's own page
vehicle-model-phase3 (owner arc 2026-08-25, pages fetched 2026-08-25): their own words: 'Tutor remotely — no travel necessary'
What it is read from the company's own page
debt-tranche2 (owner arc 2026-08-26): identity restated on their pages: subscription tutoring service hiring tutors (fetched 2026-08-26)
What you need read from the company's own page
debt-tranche2 (owner arc 2026-08-26): their own pages, fetched 2026-08-26: 'pass a comprehensive third-party background check'; their own page: about 2% of applicants complete the process
Worker costs read from the company's own page
debt-paydown (owner arc 2026-08-26): DROPPED TO HONEST ABSENCE: the inherited value was an unproven promise; the 2026-08-25 search of their landing page plus the pricing/fees/FAQ/terms subtrees found no fee statement, and the record now carries the evidenced absence instead
