What workers rate the app

The rating of the app workers use — never the customer app. Each store is its own witness; we show both and never average them. The count is what makes a score mean something. Click a listing to see the number as it stands today.

Every claim on this card, traced — 11 claims:

How you get in read from the company's own page
Record evidence_source 'Official + contractor reports', reviewed in the 2026-08-11 door-provenance audit and classified as the provider's own property
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
Record evidence_source 'Official + contractor reports', reviewed in the 2026-08-11 door-provenance audit and classified as the provider's own property
Taking new people read from the company's own page
debt-paydown (owner arc 2026-08-26): their own page, fetched this arc, carries an open application flow — the open door is the source's own word for taking people
Vehicle needed read from the company's own page
vehicle-model-phase4 (owner ruling 2026-08-25): a marketplace routing on-site service work (the Angi/HomeAdvisor precedent, ratified at Phase 3); no vehicle requirement stated anywhere on their material. Work-type basis under the ruled three-condition test; no quote fabricated.
What it is read from the company's own page
debt-tranche3 (owner arc 2026-08-26): identity restated in the source's own words, fetched 2026-08-26: 'we help homeowners and home professionals accomplish more' — the demand-channel identity on their own pages
What workers rate the app reported by someone else — not the company's words
Apple App Store listing for "Thumbtack for Professionals" and Google Play listing for "Thumbtack for Professionals" — the store is the witness, not the company; checked 2026-09-02
What you need unproven — carried from an older research method and not yet re-read from a source

Worker costs read from the company's own page
