Submit a project or request a correction

What submissions are for

The directory accepts two kinds of submission. The first is a new project that fits one of the industry focus categories and has enough material in the public domain for a basic record to be built. The second is a correction or update to an existing record where a fact is out of date, misattributed, or missing context. The form of the request is the same in both cases.

Useful information to include

• The project name, the team or organisation behind it, and a primary website or public repository.
• A one-paragraph plain-language description of what the project does. Marketing copy is fine to point to, but a non-promotional summary speeds up review.
• The industry focus that fits best from the database categories.
• Any standards, specifications, or published papers the project draws on.
• For corrections, the existing record URL and the specific fields that need to change, with a source for each correction.

What is out of scope

Some submissions sit outside what this directory tracks. They are not a comment on the value of the project, just a scope decision.

• General cryptocurrency projects without a biomedical or healthcare data dimension.
• Pure token launches, presales, or fundraising vehicles. The directory does not categorise these and explicitly does not promote them.
• Medical advice resources, clinical decision support tools, or patient-facing services that do not use shared ledger or verifiable data structures as part of their actual architecture.
• Submissions that consist mainly of testimonials, partner lists, or affiliate material without primary information.

How the review works

Submissions are reviewed against the confidence model. A new project usually starts at category level until enough independent material can be confirmed for a named record. That is not a quality judgement; it is the same process applied to every project. Confidence labels are reviewed periodically and can move in either direction as new information comes in.

The directory does not verify commercial outcomes, regulatory standing, fundraising history, or clinical effectiveness. Where claims of that kind appear in a record, they are described as the project's own claims rather than confirmed facts.

How to send a submission

Use the contact page to send a submission or correction. Include the information listed above and any links that help the review move quickly. There is no submission fee. There is no paid placement. There is no expedited review tier.

If a submission is declined, the most common reason is that the project does not fit any of the current industry focus categories or that the available material is too thin to build even a category-level record without speculation.

Database side of the submission flow

The same submission process applies on the directory host. The database submit page is the equivalent entry point for users who arrived on the directory host directly.
