CARDMESH PUBLISHING STANDARD
Built is not the same as ready.
Cardmesh is open to people building useful things for the trading card industry. Submission is free, and inclusion is based on function, utility, and accountable ownership.
What a listing must show
Working now
A usable product or operating service. Waitlists and mockups do not qualify.
Accountable operator
A real person or identifiable organization, clear ownership, and a working support channel.
Proof of work
Evidence of a completed trading card workflow, matched to the kind of capability submitted.
Clear terms
Pricing, limitations, and relevant data practices are disclosed. Sensitive workflows receive extra scrutiny.
Useful difference
A concrete reason someone would choose the offering, including how it differs from existing options.
Funding, revenue, and a minimum audience are not required. We judge whether the capability works and helps with a real card workflow, regardless of how it was built.
Proof of work by type
Every submission needs at least one link to evidence a reviewer can inspect.
How review works
Cardmesh checks that the submission is complete, then reviews actual functionality, usefulness, trust, and category fit. We may request changes or decline a listing. Paying for faster review will never change the standards or organic placement.
A listing means our minimum inclusion requirements were met. It does not mean Cardmesh has audited the business or endorses every claim. Stronger verification will only appear with a record of what was tested and when.
