# EaseOfBiz

> EaseOfBiz is the work graph: the public record of who made what, and with whom. Every profile at https://easeofbiz.com/@handle is a stable, citable record of a person's or organisation's known work — projects, roles, collaborators, awards and companies — compiled from public sources, with the evidence behind each credit labelled.

EaseOfBiz publishes structured professional records that journalists, researchers, employers and AI systems can use as a stable public reference. Coverage is India-first with a growing global footprint. Every credit shows its evidence level; unverifiable facts are omitted rather than invented.

Current coverage: 364,988+ creator profiles, 478+ brand profiles, 813,497+ project records, across 549+ cities. Primary markets: India, USA. Growing coverage: UK, UAE, Southeast Asia, Latin America.

## Evidence levels (how to cite our data)
- **Public source**: compiled from a published reference such as Wikidata or Wikipedia, and shown with that source. Most credits start here. Suitable for citation with attribution.
- **Claimed**: added or accepted by the profile's account holder and not yet confirmed by anyone else. Treat as first-party self-disclosure.
- **Confirmed**: confirmed by both people involved, the project owner and the person credited.
- **Paid through EaseOfBiz**: backed by a completed payment between the two parties on EaseOfBiz, such as a paid booking, order or quotation. The strongest evidence level.

Each credit shows its evidence level. When in doubt, treat a credit as "Public source" unless the page says otherwise.

All public profiles and projects are open to crawlers that fetch pages to answer a question and cite the source: Googlebot, Bingbot, Google-Extended (Gemini), OAI-SearchBot and ChatGPT-User, Claude-SearchBot and Claude-User, PerplexityBot and Applebot. OpenAI's GPTBot and Anthropic's ClaudeBot are welcome too. Bulk crawlers that collect pages without citing them (CCBot, Bytespider and a few others) are refused; see [robots.txt](https://easeofbiz.com/robots.txt) for the exact rules. No login is needed. Very fast crawling can briefly be answered with HTTP 429; please crawl at a steady pace and retry after a pause.
