Every lead priced, receipted, and disputable.

The research went agentic; the test drive and the handshake still happen on your lot. GateCore governs the traffic between the two: each lead an identified, per-lead-priced, signed transaction, and AI shoppers scraping your inventory turned into a governed, compensated channel.

Is this you?

Four situations.

  • A blended monthly lead bill, with no way to tell exclusive from resold or real from recycled.
  • Disputing a junk batch is your word against the vendor's, and the credit rarely comes.
  • AI shopping agents are already hitting your inventory pages, unidentified, unmetered, unpaid.
  • A buyer wants a model you cannot source, and that lead dies in your CRM instead of earning anything.
What you get

The rail that makes any lead source accountable.

Not another lead vendor. The governed layer your lead spend has been missing.

01
Provenance

Per-lead pricing from identified sources

Every lead is a signed, per-lead-priced transaction from a credentialed source, not a line inside a blended invoice.

02
Evidence

Dispute with the record, not the phone

Each delivery lands with a signed, timestamped receipt on an append-only ledger: exactly what arrived, from whom, and when.

03
The other door

Inventory as a licensed front door

Publish a governed listing of inventory and appointment availability that vetted shopping agents procure on your terms and price, metered and receipted, instead of scraping.

By use case

Each product, mapped to the job it does here.

Only the use cases that genuinely apply in this industry are listed.

UC1
Use case · Sell to agents

Leads priced per lead, provable per lead

Your listing states the makes and models you sell, your market radius, and the price per lead. Every delivery is a signed transaction you can dispute from the record.

Marketplace listing · verified lead delivery · settlement + signed receipts

UC2
Use case · Govern access

Your inventory, licensed instead of scraped

A governed data listing makes AI-shopper traffic against your inventory and appointment availability identified, metered, and priced on your terms, with a receipt per access.

Gateway checkpoint · policy + review queue · governed data sharing · receipts

UC3
Use case · Get discovered

Present where car shopping starts now

Shopping assistants can read your listings with no account. The Merchant toolkit and Concierge tiers sharpen the listing content itself: content work, never placement.

Open MCP discovery · agent-readable terms · listing optimization tiers

How it works

Six gates, in order, on every request.

If any gate fails, nothing is delivered and nothing is billed.

01
IDENTITY
The submitting agent signs the request with its issued key. Anonymous submissions are refused.
PASS
02
TRUST
Standing earned from verified outcomes, never asserted and never bought.
GOOD
03
CONTRACT
Your listing's contract states the required fields, the stated consent, and the price. Short payloads are refused.
MET
04
POLICY
Your rules decide: makes and models you sell, your market radius, ceilings per source.
ALLOW
05
DELIVER
The lead lands where your BDC already works. Nothing installs in your DMS or CRM.
DONE
06
RECEIPT
Source, decision, payload hash, and settlement, signed onto an append-only ledger.
RECEIPT

Refused submissions are never billed, and every refusal names the rule.

The arithmetic

Thirty verified leads a month, one rooftop.

What incremental verified volume translates to at your close rate and average gross per unit.

Illustrative arithmetic with placeholder inputs, not a forecast, a promised result, or a typical outcome. Substitute your own volume, close rate, and ticket size; the structure is the point, not these numbers.

At your size

Same gate, sized to you.

SINGLE ROOFTOP
List free, take leads in your existing BDC flow, hold the receipts.
DEALER GROUP
One policy across rooftops; a lead one store cannot use routes to the store that can, priced and receipted.
ENTERPRISE GROUP
A governed intake across every vendor and a metered data front door, exportable for spend and co-op review.
What it costs

The published schedule, no asterisks.

Published rates are ceilings: volume pricing is negotiated down, never up.

LISTING
Free. Any product, service, dataset, or lead type. Organic agent discovery, no platform fee, no listing fee.
SETTLEMENT
When money settles through the marketplace: 5% of settled volume plus $0.25 per settlement event. Small transactions batch into daily or monthly settlements, your choice, so the fixed fee spreads across the batch.
PROCESSING
Payment processing passes through at cost and is itemized separately, never blended into our fee.
ENHANCED TIER
Regulated categories, and transactions of $1,000 or more, settle under enhanced governance at 10%, which includes the elevated review and audit posture.

Vehicle-scale transactions of $1,000 or more settle under the enhanced governance tier.

FAQ

The two that come up first.

We already buy from the big portals. Is this a replacement?
No. GateCore is the governed rail that makes any lead source accountable: identity on the source, a per-lead price, and a signed receipt on a tamper-evident record. It turns spend you cannot verify into spend you can prove and dispute, whoever the source is.
AI agents are not buying cars. Why now?
They are already researching and routing buyers, and already hitting your inventory pages. The choice today is between being scraped for free and publishing a governed, priced front door. Provenance on the leads you buy is a problem you have this month either way.
