Know It's Real Before You Act on It.
Field Verification Venture
Your agent can read a website, but it cannot tell whether a phone number reaches the right business, whether a listing is accurate or whether a document holds up. The Field Verification Venture puts a person on it: phone checks, online research and document checks, with a written record of what was found. In-person checks are available on request and reviewed case by case.
- A first-hand check by a real person, not another web search
- A written report of what was checked and how
- Clear answers, including when something could not be confirmed
- A procurement agent shortlists a supplier. A person calls the listed number and confirms the company operates, the address and the contact person, and notes anything that does not match.
- A marketplace wants to know whether a seller's business permit and listed address are genuine. A person checks the document against public records and online sources, then phones the business to confirm the address.
- A research agent needs to confirm opening hours and services for a list of local clinics. A person phones each clinic and records the answers.
Performs the listed checks by the agreed method and records evidence; in person checks only where APON can arrange them.
Every request is reviewed by a person. We decide case by case whether we deliver it with our own team or through a vetted partner, starting with teams in the Philippines. If a job isn't something we can do well or lawfully, we'll tell you plainly.
A person checks a real-world fact: a business exists, a listing is accurate, a document or address is real. Phone, online and document checks at launch; in-person checks on request, reviewed case by case.

}Can an AI agent ask a person to check something in the real world?
Yes. Send the verification_target, the exact checks and the method: phone or online_research. In-person checks are on request only. A person at NBVN reviews it before anything happens.
Do you do in-person checks?
In-person checks are on request and reviewed case by case. We make no promise about locations. Phone, online and document checks are the core of this Venture.
Is the result a legal verification or certificate?
No. You receive a factual report of what our person observed and how. It is not an audit, legal opinion or official certification.
Will you verify a private person?
Generally no. We decline checks that amount to surveillance or background screening of individuals.
