What’s included
V1 works with business names, normalized categories, city and ZIP, website status, ratings, review counts, and collection provenance. Private home addresses, personal email, and personal phone numbers are not displayed in the directory.
A location count is not a market census
The directory may have gaps, stale records, and unresolved duplicates. Counts describe the records available to this platform. They do not establish demand, saturation, revenue, or the likelihood that a business will succeed.
Unknown is a useful answer
A missing website does not automatically mean a business has no website. Unrecorded ratings and review counts are omitted from their respective calculations and reported with their sample sizes.
Where the records come from
20,337 source records were reconciled. This snapshot includes 6,479 external observations; 12,919 records are held separately for historical research or review. Another 939 flagged registrations were excluded from export.
Historical registrations have no verified current operating status or structured city in the source. They are retained in the app database for research, and are not added to current market counts. External observations are unverified; missing ratings, reviews, and website status remain unknown.

The app reads a dedicated public directory projection or a locally reviewed import. Raw data goes through staging and normalization. Suspected duplicates block publishing until reviewed.
