The canonical attribution layer of the built world.
Archade compiles professional reputation from verified projects, firms, and work histories — enabling discovery through attribution, not promotion.
Buildings outlive platforms. Reputation should too.
A system of record for architecture.
Where portfolios are self-reported and social networks optimize for engagement, Archade structures the actual relationships between projects, people, firms, and products. Reputation is compiled from evidence, not promotion.
Archade is a system of record for the architecture and construction industry. It compiles professional reputation from verified projects, firms, and work histories, enabling discovery through attribution rather than promotion.

How Archade compiles reputation.
Five mechanical steps. No drama. No gatekeeping. Just structured attribution that compounds over time.
Projects are structured
Every project becomes a structured record — location, typology, contributors, products, construction data.
Contributors are attributed
Every person involved gets verifiable credit for their role and contribution.
Firms are linked
Companies connect to their projects, teams, offices, and history automatically.
Products are referenced
Building products link to real project usage, not manufacturer claims.

Not a directory. An intelligence layer.
Archade doesn't just store profiles. It structures relationships, surfaces patterns, and generates market intelligence that compounds over time.
Graph-based search
Search by built typology, location, material, or contributor — not keywords.

Career trajectory mapping
Seniority progression, role transitions, and growth velocity over time.
Specification heatmaps
See where products are being specified geographically and by typology.
Typology clustering
Discover specialization patterns across firms, people, and regions.
Three design rules. Not commandments.
Every system encodes values. These are the rules that shape how Archade structures, surfaces, and ranks information.
Discovery over promotion
Reputation is compiled from evidence, not purchased through exposure. The best work surfaces through attribution.
Evidence over claims
Show the project, not the press release. Structured data replaces self-reported credentials.
Signal over noise
Density matters more than reach. Professional networks are built on verified relationships, not follower counts.
Infrastructure, not another platform.
Built for Long-Term Infrastructure, Not Short-Term Monetization.
Archade is designed to operate as industry infrastructure. Its economic model protects the integrity of the data graph while ensuring sustainable growth.
The Core Graph Remains Open
Profiles, projects, attribution records, and discovery access remain free. The shared record of who built what is not gated behind subscription tiers.
The foundational layer of the ecosystem belongs to the industry.
Intelligence Funds Development
Organizations pay for analysis and decision support — not for visibility. Revenue is generated from:
- Advanced market intelligence
- Career analytics tools
- Institutional dashboards
- Product and specification insights
This ensures continuous investment in data quality and verification systems.
Discovery Is Never Auctioned
Search rankings are not influenced by advertising spend. Visibility is determined by:
- Verified project attribution
- Contribution density
- Engagement quality
- Data completeness
Competitive position is earned through documented work, not purchased exposure.
The Principle
The data graph must remain trustworthy to remain valuable. Archade separates monetization from visibility to preserve long-term credibility across the ecosystem.
Who this is not for.
Strong systems have clear boundaries. Archade is designed for professionals who build. Not everyone will find it useful, and that's by design.

Common questions.
What is Archade?
Archade is a system of record for the architecture and construction industry. It compiles professional reputation from verified projects, firms, and work histories — enabling discovery through attribution, not promotion.
Is Archade free?
Yes. Core profile, project, and discovery features are free forever. Premium intelligence features are available for professionals who want deeper market insights.
How is Archade different from LinkedIn?
LinkedIn is a general social network. Archade is a domain-specific system of record designed for architecture and construction — with structured project data, contributor attribution, and product specification graphs that LinkedIn cannot provide.
How does verification work?
Archade verifies professional identity through mutual attribution. When multiple people attribute each other on the same project, trust compounds. No single person can claim credit without corroboration.
Can I list my firm?
Yes. Any architecture, engineering, or construction firm can create a verified profile. Your firm page aggregates projects, team members, and public references automatically.
How does discovery work without ads?
Discovery on Archade runs on graph relationships. Projects connect to contributors, firms, products, and locations. Search and recommendation surfaces this structure — no bidding, no boosting.
The industry deserves better infrastructure.
Archade is building the canonical attribution layer for architecture and construction. Structured, verifiable, and designed for the people who actually build.
