Watching · for owners
Start with a baseline briefing. Get an email when Lodestar Stamp publishes a change to your selected receipt, plus a weekly digest and monthly readout.
The alert job checks Lodestar Stamp’s published feed every 30 minutes. Source updates and verification can take longer.
Location pricing
One location is $149 a month, after a free first month. From two locations on one contract, every location moves to a lower price. Every location gets the same four emails; the discount is for scale, never for influence.

Prepare your business
Start with questions you can answer today. Readiness begins with a record that makes identity, evidence and gaps clear.
Check the name, address and license together. Same-name locations need separate receipts.
Inspect what was checked, the original source and when another check is due.
Choose who reviews changes and submits evidence when the public receipt needs a correction.
The shift · for agents and platforms
Lodestar Stamp is building the trust layer agents can consult before booking, calling or paying a business. Restaurants are the starting point; the same identity, evidence and freshness model can serve other industries.
Build with the trust interfaceSee the agent walkthrough
Public receipts are free to read. Agent reads are $1 each, with 10 free a month per credentialed identity; volume access is agreed per contract. Review trial access and terms.
Match identifiers before reading the business record.
Inspect field states, source URLs, check dates and expiry.
Your software decides when to proceed, ask a human or request another check. Lodestar Stamp supplies facts.
Independence, by design
Payment buys Watching. It cannot improve, hide or remove a fact, change verification priority, or change the evidence required for a correction.
We have not established that a subscription increases bookings or changes an assistant’s recommendation. Watching delivers the baseline and changes published on the selected receipt.
A verified field means we checked the cited source on the stated date. It is not a safety endorsement. Source freshness, expiry and unpublished fields remain visible.
No published changes were found for that period. It does not prove that the underlying city source was rechecked.
No. Our ambition is to earn a place in pre-booking checks through useful evidence and integrations. We do not claim mandatory adoption or existing platform dependence.
Markets on the record
Coverage is explicit for each market. Every new industry needs its own reachable sources, identity rules and freshness requirements.
Before the booking, check the record.
Your receipt is free. Watching tells you when it changes.
