What It Does
The TCR Approval Database answers "how does a registration like mine usually fare?". For a use case and trust score it returns the tier, approval rate, average approval time, rejection risk and recommendations. In the Compliance Suite you can also filter anonymized approval records by industry vertical, trust score range and carrier.
The demo version covers 5 industry categories; the full database covers 15+ verticals with downloadable benchmark reports.

FAQ
Where does the approval data come from?
From 487+ anonymized TCR approval records, grouped by industry vertical, use case, trust score range and carrier.
Why is marketing harder to approve than 2FA?
Marketing campaigns carry the strictest consent and content requirements. The documented example shows a 60% approval rate and high rejection risk for marketing at a trust score of 60.
Does a high approval rate guarantee approval?
No. Rates are historical benchmarks. TCR, the Direct Connect Aggregators and carriers decide each registration.
How much does a query cost?
One token per query. Tokens are bought once, work across all MyTCRPlus tools, and do not expire.
Is there an API endpoint?
Yes. POST /v1/tools/approval-db on the MyTCRPlus REST API.
