Changes, not another provider database
CareGist starts with two decision-relevant events: a new CQC registration and a published rating change. The free directory remains available for discovery and checking.
Proof before promise
CQC signal intelligence built for a decision—not for selling rows
Compliance and quality-improvement teams already have access to public CQC records. CareGist's job is to preserve what changed, show the evidence, and make the next human action easier to prioritise and audit.
Evidence stays attached
Stable CQC location IDs, source URLs, observation timestamps, and entity level keep events tied to the approved source. Data Status reports the reconciled snapshot and any checksum currently available.
Safe when interpretation is unavailable
A verified raw event can still be delivered when an explanation does not pass the evidence gate. CareGist does not fill missing facts with a prediction.
A workflow your team can repeat
Both products are built from saved views, explicit provider lists, and observation-dated evidence, without bundling an API into a human-workflow product.
Commercial focus
Why the first customer is a compliance firm
A rating change or registration can create immediate review, remediation, or business-development work. One qualified engagement can repay a Weekly Digest pack, while the linked evidence lets a consultant explain exactly why the signal deserved attention. This is a narrower and more defensible promise than generic lead generation.
What CareGist deliberately does not claim
- No predictive provider score, vacancy claim, or guaranteed opportunity label
- No paid listing rank or sponsored provider placement
- No static dataset or commodity regional data pack
- No provider-group conclusion from a location-level event
- No automatic narrative unless the factual evidence gate passes
- No claim that CareGist can detect a change before CQC publishes it
