CRN — Contractor Readiness Number
Issued to subcontractor firms. Every license, every certification, every completed project attaches to it. One number a GC can check instead of chasing a binder.

Every project starts from zero. This is how that ends.
PowerForce issues the CRN and TRN, free, permanent credentials that travel with a firm or a worker across every project, every GC, every state.
Why PowerForce Exists
The industry has never had a shared record. So every project rebuilds trust from nothing.
A sub firm wins a bid with a GC they've never worked with. Insurance. Licenses. Worker credentials. References. Two weeks proving what they've already proven a dozen times before.
Then they win another bid. Different GC. Same two weeks. Same stack of documents, assembled again from scratch.
A tradesperson moves from Texas to North Carolina for a new job. Nobody there knows what they've done. Their record doesn't travel with them, it resets.
That's not a paperwork problem. It's a missing record. Nothing exists that a GC, a sub, and a worker can all check and actually trust. PowerForce is that record.
The Credential
Two numbers.
Free.
Yours forever.
TRN — Tradesperson Readiness Number
Issued to individual workers. It's not your employer's, it's yours. It follows you to the next job, the next state, the next contractor. It doesn't reset.

For General Contractors
You already know the risk. You just can't see it.
Every sub on your project looks the same on paper. Insurance in order. License current. Bid competitive. What you can't see is whether they can actually staff the scope they signed up for, until they can't, and it's your schedule that pays for it.
- See it. Every sub and worker on your project can carry a CRN or TRN. One number, full record, no chasing documents.
- Check it. Verification takes one click, no login, no account needed on your end.
- Prefer it. When two bids look the same on paper, a CRN is the one thing you can actually verify. Lean on that, and the subs who've earned one stand out for it.
This isn't about catching the subs who cut corners. It's about the ones who don't, finally getting recognized for it. Right now your best subs and your worst subs look identical on paper. CRN is what tells them apart.
