Local presence : East end — Beaches, Riverdale, Leslieville, Leaside
Why this reference : Strongest genuine local anchor of the set: office physically at 2404 Queen St East in the Beaches (east-end), explicitly marketing the Beaches, Riverdale, Leslieville and Leaside — a precise this-sector declaration (ancrage 15). OAHI member, inspecting since 1998 (28 years). Production-stage: Google reviews pending owner capture; expected to reach green once captured.
Why 57/100, and not 100?
The points below are not taken away from Marcel Besner: they are simply not yet awarded, for lack of a public source to verify them. Payotte estimates nothing and invents nothing.
- 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 8 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 — 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.
