Original THP contractor-evidence research

18 of 95 published profiles expose an exact Florida credential.

This dated production snapshot measures THP's published evidence coverage—not Florida licensure prevalence, contractor quality, insurance, capacity, response performance, or the South Florida market.

Snapshot generated July 30, 2026

What the reviewed evidence supports

Every qualifying credential has an exact DBPR license-detail citation, identifier, category, status, expiration date, Florida jurisdiction, and retrieval date.

Published profile cohort

95

Canonical profiles returned by the production public projection.

Exact structured credentials

27

Credential records meeting every exact-source requirement.

Profiles with a credential

18

18.9% of this editorial cohort—not of the market.

Unavailable

77

No website-only, similar-name, or free-form inference replaced the missing structured evidence.

Conclusion

Eighteen of 95 production-published THP profiles expose at least one exact structured Florida DBPR credential. Seventy-seven remain without that published structured evidence contract; this does not establish that those businesses are unlicensed.

Methodology

Authority
THP production public_profiles projection joined only to already published structured profile evidence.
Denominator
All 95 canonical profiles returned by the production public projection at snapshot time.
Qualifying evidence
A profile counts only when its published license evidence is classified as a government record and contains a structured credential with an exact Florida DBPR license-detail URL, identifier, credential category, Current Active status, expiration date, Florida jurisdiction, and retrieval date.
Unavailable rule
Every published profile without that full structured evidence contract remains in the denominator and is counted as not having a published structured DBPR credential. This is an evidence-coverage state, not a claim that the business is unlicensed.
Deduplication
Profile coverage is deduplicated by canonical public profile. Structured credential totals are separately deduplicated by profile, credential identifier, and exact source URL.
Privacy
Aggregate counts only; no business names, profile slugs or IDs, license identifiers, phone numbers, emails, addresses, or evidence statements are included.

Aggregate evidence coverage

  • 18 published profiles with an exact structured DBPR credential.
  • 77 published profiles without that structured evidence contract.
  • 27 total structured credential records.
  • 18.9% published-profile evidence coverage at snapshot time.
  • 13 of 14 deep-profile control records with structured credential evidence.

Limitations

  • This measures THP evidence coverage, not Florida licensure prevalence or the South Florida contractor market.
  • A current license record does not prove insurance, ownership, capacity, availability, response performance, work quality, recommendation, or future status.
  • The snapshot does not measure every license a business or qualifier may hold.
  • Expiration and status are dated observations and require later rechecking.
  • Publication coverage can change after the generated date; this baseline does not update silently.
