How AI vetting works.
Every application follows the same four steps. No sign in required to see exactly what to expect.
- Step 1AI scans every application
Licenses, insurance certificates, certifications and firm websites are cross-checked against public records and known risk indicators.
- Step 2References are verified automatically
Past clients and partners receive a secure, tokenized questionnaire. Responses are logged next to the application for review.
- Step 3Admin makes the final call
Our team reviews the AI screening, reference feedback and credentials before approving, rejecting or placing a firm on hold.
- Step 4Re-screened on a rolling basis
Admitted firms are continuously monitored. If credentials lapse or new risks surface, their status is updated automatically.
Flat rate. No commissions.
One closed engagement typically covers a full year on the platform. Your contracts stay between you and the principal.

Questions firms ask before applying.
Do you take commission on my contracts?+
No. Sentinel never takes a cut of your engagements. We charge a flat subscription. Booking, contracting, and payment stay between you and the principal.
What's the actual ROI math?+
One closed engagement at typical Dallas market rates ($8k, $45k for a multi-day detail) covers a year of Standard pricing. Most firms break even on their first or second matched principal.
What happens if I'm not approved?+
We refund any prepaid subscription in full. Vetting takes 2 to 3 weeks. You get specific feedback on what would need to change to reconsider.
Can I cancel anytime?+
Yes. Cancel at any time from your firm dashboard. We refund unused full months on annual plans.
Is the vetting badge transferable?+
No. The badge belongs to the verified entity and is revoked immediately on license lapse, claim, or material change.
Do you work with out-of-state firms?+
Sentinel is launching Texas-first. Out-of-state firms with active Texas DPS reciprocity and Texas operations can apply now; full national rollout is planned for 2027.
Can I list multiple service categories?+
Yes. List every category you're licensed and staffed for. Principals filter by category, so accurate listing means accurate intros.
