The points below are not taken away from REI & Co Home Inspections — Geoff Latham (CMI): they are simply not yet awarded, for lack of a public source to verify them. Payotte estimates nothing and invents nothing.
- Local presence in Downtown Edmonton not confirmed. No public source proves how many files were closed in this specific sector — only the professional holds that figure.
- No verifiable distinction found (industry award, press citation, teaching role). Absence of evidence, not evidence of absence.
- No licence number published on this profile. The body is named, but without a number a reader cannot confirm the registration in the register themselves.
Is this profile about you?
Your score is public, criterion by criterion. Up to 13 points are out of reach — not because you don't deserve them, but because no public source lets us verify them. From you, we need:
- up to 5 pts — your presence in Downtown Edmonton: files closed there over the past twelve months, and the address of the office that serves it
- up to 5 pts — a verifiable distinction: an industry award, a press citation, a teaching role
- up to 3 pts — your licence number, so we can confirm it in the register
We verify, we date it, we publish. It is free, and it buys no ranking — only an accurate profile.
