01Independent proof for human-led companies
Proof there are people behind the promise.
Human Made Business records the people, ownership, and working practices behind companies worth knowing.
Every public mark begins with a dated act of human review.

The living index
Companies are not logos. Meet the people doing the work.
Every profile starts with an accountable person, a real operating story, and evidence with a date.

Preview records are clearly labelled until the first independent reviews are complete.
A profile with receipts
See the company. Then see who stands behind it.
A public profile gives the story, scope, mark, and review date. Members can open the consented contact route and speak to the named person.

Direct details stay private until the company consents and a member signs in.
How the mark is earned
A clear claim. A human review. A visible renewal date.
Questions first. Claims second.
Identity
We match the legal company, the domain, and the person accountable for the claim.
Presence
A reviewer meets a founder or senior operator and records their role in the business.
Practice
The company explains where people, automation, and outside suppliers each contribute.
Recourse
We confirm a consented contact route and a way for customers to raise a real concern.
Payment can fund a review or membership. It cannot buy a positive decision or a higher place in the index.
Read the pilot standardThe public record
A useful profile, not a trophy cabinet.
Each company page states what was reviewed, when it was reviewed, and who is accountable. The record stays readable even when its status changes.
