The recurring decision

Portfolio teams repeatedly decide whether location records still point to the same regulator facilities and whether a supported source has changed.

Why horizontal data falls short

Internal location files drift. Names change, addresses vary, and a place listing rarely preserves the regulator identifier needed to compare source snapshots.

What Venue Authority returns

Venue Authority resolves facility identity, stores metered evidence receipts, and tracks supported changes for canonical records added to a workspace watchlist.

Production-compatible API shape

The response shape provides the canonical regulator identity needed before a location enters a monitored watchlist.

Questions buyers ask

Does Portfolio Proof return every matched record?

No. Portfolio Proof returns aggregate counts, reason groups, jurisdiction summaries, and up to ten regulator-only examples. Full records and evidence receipts require authenticated metered API requests.

What changes can a watchlist report?

Venue Authority records supported source changes between validated snapshots. Missing records remain potentially removed unless the source contract supports a stronger status such as closure or reopening.

Does monitoring consume prepaid units?

Current watchlists and signed customer webhooks do not consume units. Valid resolver requests, canonical facility requests, and new audit exports each consume one prepaid unit.

Measure your own sample before choosing capacity.

Portfolio Proof uses the same resolver policy and returns bounded aggregate evidence without storing the uploaded CSV.
