What a license check proves
- That Couch Commons found a matching official record and recorded what the source showed on the printed date.
- It does not prove availability, insurance, fees, fit, or results.
- Licenses are rechecked daily. If a later result stops matching, the profile pauses until the official record matches again.

What it is not
- Not a healthcare provider, emergency service, licensing board, credentialing organization, insurer, or referral agency.

Size
- Couch Commons is small: 12 published members. It is not the right choice if the only priority is the largest existing audience.
