Partner intros · how we pick, vet, and disclose

Vetted providers

Quick answer

WhereNext is building a network to route high-intent users to one matched provider per category — tax, immigration, school, property, moving. Every provider must clear a documented 11-point vetting standard before joining the routing table; users approve each introduction before anything is shared, and every referral fee is disclosed. This page is the public version of that standard, plus the removal triggers that pause routing on SLA misses or regulated-advice violations.

Key facts

  • 11-point vetting checklist License + insurance + named contact + SLA + no outcome guarantees + data rules.
  • Explicit consent Every intro requires a checkbox; disclosure text travels with the lead row.
  • Removal triggers Two SLA misses or one regulated-advice violation = paused routing.

Vetting criteria

Regulator-listed where applicable

Immigration lawyers must be listed with the destination country's bar / immigration regulator. Tax advisors must hold the relevant home-country credential (CPA, EA, ACCA, CFP, etc.) or be regulated in the destination country.

Real client references

We do at least one warm-reference call per prospective partner before adding them to the routing list. If a partner declines references, they don't make the list.

Plain-English fee structure

Partners must publish fees up front (or honour a fixed scope quote) — no escalating hourly without a stated cap, no surprise contingencies after the user has committed.

Conflict-of-interest disclosure

If a partner sells a downstream product (golden-visa property, mortgage, insurance) we disclose the interest in the introduction email so the user can weigh the recommendation.

The full 11-point operator runbook + removal policy live in the provider vetting runbook. It also names the deferral that gates a public provider directory until at least 5 partners are signed and vetted.

Policy rules

Rankings are independent of partner status.

Country / city / school / golden-visa rankings on WhereNext are produced by the same scoring engine for everyone. A country whose firms are partners does NOT outrank a country whose firms aren't. Sponsored placements, if any are ever introduced, will be visually distinct and labelled as such.

Referral fees disclosed in every introduction email.

When you receive an introduction, the email states whether WhereNext earns a referral fee, how it's structured (one-time / scaled / capped), and that you are not obligated to engage the partner.

Manual routing — no marketplace yet.

There is no partner directory and no automated matching. Every introduction is reviewed by a human before it goes out. If we don't have a fit for your route, we'll tell you and (where applicable) point you to a regulator-listed alternative.

Lead data stays in WhereNext.

Your details land in our partner_intros table (Supabase, RLS service-role only). We don't share PII with partners until you explicitly engage. Analytics events carry a lead_id, never an email.

If something goes wrong

  1. If a partner you were introduced to misrepresents fees, scope, regulatory status, or pressures you toward a downstream product without disclosure, email hello@getwherenext.com with the partner name, intro date, and a short description.
  2. A human reads every complaint — no timeline promised. If the complaint is substantiated, we remove the partner from the routing list and email any other recent users we introduced to them within the last 90 days.
  3. If the issue is regulatory (unlicensed advice, missing licence) we additionally report to the destination country's regulator.

Why no marketplace?

A marketplace shifts incentives toward partner volume and away from fit. Until WhereNext has enough recurring lead volume to make rotation + bench-strength real, automated matching would push mediocre fits at users who aren’t in a position to evaluate them. Manual routing keeps the responsibility on us.

We’ll revisit when (a) lead volume is > 20 / week per category, (b) we have at least 3 vetted partners per category per destination, and (c) we have a published quality benchmark partners must hit to stay listed.
