How PermitBridge Verifies Information

  1. Official government and licensing-board sources are preferred and are labeled distinctly from other sources.
  2. When only a secondary (non-official) source could be found, it is explicitly labeled "Secondary Source" rather than presented as official.
  3. When two official sources disagree, both are preserved and a documented, deterministic rule — not a guess — decides which is more specific to the exact fact in question.
  4. Information that hasn't been confirmed by any source is shown as "Not yet confirmed" — it is never guessed, estimated, or copied from another state.
  5. Human verification is tracked separately from automated research. A field found through research is not the same as a field a person has reviewed and confirmed — this page shows that distinction honestly rather than treating research as verification.
