Could you build this?
Partial The marketplace web application is straightforward CRUD, but verifying tradesperson licenses, insurance, and WSIB compliance requires local regulatory registry access and operational verification pipelines.
What it would actually take: Built with standard marketplace tech (Next.js, Supabase, Stripe). The difficult operational component is the automated or human-in-the-loop verification pipeline connecting to Ontario's Skilled Trades Ontario (STO) registry, WSIB clearance certificate verification, and COI (Certificate of Insurance) validation to guarantee vetted contractors.
