What is a data trust in restoration?

A data trust is an independent organization that holds operators' data under governance and returns shared intelligence without selling it to the other side. Verinode is the first independent data trust built for restoration: operators contribute their own data, get peer benchmarks and decisions back, and the data is never sold to insurance carriers or shown to another operator.

The model exists because restoration operators generate valuable data but have historically had the benchmarks and analytics controlled by carriers, software vendors, or adjacent players. A data trust flips that: the data is governed for the operators' benefit by an Operator Advisory Council, with the no-sale-to-carriers commitment written into the Terms, not just stated in marketing.

Common Questions

Related questions.

Who governs the data?

Verinode does. An Operator Advisory Council, active operators only, with no carrier or TPA in the room, is being formed to advise on the data-use policy; it advises, it does not govern.

Is operator data ever sold?

Never to insurance carriers: that commitment is written into the Data Use Policy. Your data is never shown to another operator, and only anonymized aggregate reaches the benchmarks.

The Independent Source

Verinode is where restoration operators get the real answer.

Membership turns the data you already have into benchmarks and decisions, grounded in your records and your real peers, never sold to insurance carriers.
