Counterparty red-flag screen
Lawsuits, judgments, liens, complaints, BBB records, regulatory actions, and news — graded low, medium, or high. Works for any company, in any industry.
Vendor risk screening
Fourteen browser tabs, or one verdict.
The state licensing board. PACER. The county recorder. BBB. Three news searches. Then the judgment call, from memory, at 4:50pm on a Friday. That is the process this replaces — not the judgment, the tab-opening.
One name in, one sourced verdict out — every finding graded and linked.
The evidence stays attached, so a reviewer can audit the reasoning.
A checklist of what to obtain before bidding comes with it.
What a screen actually covers
Contractor licence verification
Direct state-board lookups in Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, Nevada, Texas — status, licence number, issue and expiry dates, classifications, surety bond, workers' compensation. Other states return web-search pointers, which is research, not verification.
A source URL on every claim
Nothing is inferred. If a lookup fails or a record is not found, it says "Lookup failed" or "Not found" — there are no mock fallbacks anywhere in the pipeline.
Coverage currency
Licence, bond, and workers-comp dates become a countdown, with a panel listing only what needs chasing — 30 days red, 60 days amber, past-date red. An uploaded certificate of insurance answers general liability, which no board publishes.
Re-checkable runs
Every run is timestamped, so re-screening the same vendor surfaces what changed: Active to Expired, a cancelled bond, a new disciplinary action.
One verdict
CLEAR, REVIEW, or DO NOT ENGAGE — with plain-English reasoning, the evidence behind it, and a checklist of what to obtain before you bid.
Direct board verification covers Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, Nevada, Texas only. Outside those states a screen returns web-search pointers — research, not verification. Stated plainly because you're the one who has to defend the file.
