Open resourceResources
The short library for understanding how PanelAndPlug works.
These pages are for partners, affiliates, providers, and collaborators who want to understand the operating model before there is a public partner submission program. The emphasis is on method, limits, and disclosure.
Principles
The rules for estimates, disclosure, paid relationships, rankings, and professional-review limits.
Open resourceBrands
The current and future guide-site family under the PanelAndPlug parent brand.
Open resourcePartner readiness
What potential partners should understand before public submissions, contact handoffs, or paid programs exist.
Open resourceShared vocabulary
Use the same words for the same relationships.
Clear labels matter. A reader should be able to tell when a page is educational, when it is compensated, and when a claim needs professional or provider confirmation.
Affiliate relationship
A commercial relationship where the site may be compensated for a referral, sale, or action.
Provider relationship
A relationship with an installer, service provider, or local company that may appear in future guide paths.
Sponsored placement
Paid visibility that must be labeled and kept separate from unsupported editorial claims.
Contact handoff
A path that shares homeowner interest with a provider or partner. This is not active yet.
Current limit
Resources are live for review; partner actions are not.
There is no submission form, no public paid-placement path, no affiliate upload path, and no provider contact handoff. The useful action today is to review the method and principles.
