Source coverage
Every Source Is Labeled by What the Product Can Actually Do Today.
A source appearing in the methodology does not mean it ran, matched the correct entity or is fully automated. Each report preserves applicability, status, retrieval details, identity confidence and limitations.

State and Local Coverage
Verified state source maps currently cover California, Texas, Florida. They identify official entity, UCC, tax, court, licensing and local routes, but many searches still require accounts, fees, agency requests or human review. Other states receive federal screening and guided state research without being labeled as verified state packages.
Why Documents Still Matter
Public data cannot verify target revenue, normalized earnings, add-backs, cash conversion, customer concentration, inventory quality, equipment condition or contract transferability. Those conclusions require authorized business records and appropriate review.
Apply Sources by Industry
A source runs because the target’s identity, activities, location or licenses make it relevant. Continue to Industry Acquisition Intelligence to see how EPA, FMCSA, CFPB, CMS, USAspending, BLS and FDA evidence changes by business type.
