Scholarship-program participation verifier

Problem: The researched center was verified absent from every Florida K-12 scholarship participant list in Orange County (FTC, FES-EO, FES-UA, PEP Hybrid) despite marketing school-age education — meaning scholarship families could not use state fu...

Childcare subsidy-contract status checker

Problem: A center advertised "free VPK" but its status as an approved VPK provider or School Readiness (subsidy) contractor could not be verified in public records — the Early Learning Coalition name search returned nothing and directories did not...

Director identity continuity tracker

Problem: DCF records for one facility listed "Laquitta Luckett" as owner/director through December 2025 and "Laquitta Kegler" from March 2026 — consistent with a name change, but no public record confirmed the reason. Unexplained identity disconti...

Provider digital-footprint auditor

Problem: A currently licensed, operating childcare center had no official website and no findable Facebook, Instagram, or Yelp business page — only directory listings and a paid ad snippet. Parents searching for it online found almost nothing, whi...

Private-school claim verifier

Childcare license–corporate record cross-verifier

Problem: Public records for one small center told a fragmented story: Florida corporate filings listed the president as Laquitta Kegler while DCF inspection records said Laquitta Luckett through late 2025, the principal address shifted from 1230 t...

State AG enforcement-action tracker

Problem: State attorneys general are the most active solar enforcers — Connecticut's 2024 $5 million judgment, its 2025 settlements with a bankrupt installer's lender and a lead generator, its ongoing suit against SunRun and others — but each AG's...

Solar marketer compliance copilot under shifting rules

Problem: With the FCC's one-to-one consent rule vacated and never in effect, solar marketers operate under the older express-written-consent standard plus a patchwork of state rules — a compliance landscape that shifts with every court order, wher...
