# Catalogue rating

A catalogue rating is a letter, from AAA to D, for the registration condition of your catalogue on a stated date, given under a published rule book and with your own confirmation of what you hold. You can show it to a buyer or a lender, and anyone can check it on the public check page. See [What a rating is](/docs/certification/rating/what-a-rating-is) and [Levels: catalogue check and catalogue rating](/docs/certification/rating/levels).

## The check and the rating

The [TrackForge check](/docs/workspace/registration-health#the-trackforge-check) is free and reads public records. It says what it found, work by work, and it gives no letter: without your side of the story, a letter would be a guess. A catalogue rating adds your own confirmation of what you hold, and comes out as a letter.

The card **Catalogue rating** on Registration health stands for one of four things:

- **TrackForge has not checked this catalogue yet.** There is nothing to rate until the check has run.
- **Your catalogue was checked on** a date **It has no rating yet.** The card says what a rating adds and offers the button **Request a catalogue rating**.
- **A catalogue rating was requested on** a date, with who asked and what happens next. Your request is with TrackForge.
- **Your catalogue is rated** a letter, once its Rating Report is released, with its issue date, its review date and the rule book version it was given under.

Today shows the same state in one line, with a link to Registration health.

## How to request one

Only owners and editors can request a catalogue rating. The button **Request a catalogue rating** appears once your catalogue has been checked. After you ask, the card says a rating was requested, when, and by whom, and TrackForge will be in touch. Asking again while your request is open records one request, not two.

## What you will be asked to confirm

TrackForge will ask you to confirm which works are yours, what share of each you hold, and under which publisher names you hold them. That confirmation is part of the rating record, so the letter rests on what you said you own, not on public records alone.

## What you receive

When the rating is released, its letter, issue date, review date and rule book version are shown on the **Catalogue rating** card on Registration health. The full findings come as the Rating Report, a PDF; the card shows the report's SHA-256, a fingerprint of the file, so you can check your copy is the one that was released. A rating that has been signed but whose Rating Report is not yet released does not appear on the card until the release. The card also shows the rating's check code, and anyone can enter it on the public check page `https://trackforge.studio/verify/<code>` to see that the letter is genuine.

A rating that is later replaced or withdrawn is shown as such on the check page at once. The card catches up when TrackForge next brings that rating's run into your workspace; until then, the check page is the authority.
