{"meta":{"title":"ProFix Directory — By the Numbers","description":"The directory's own aggregate self-statistics, computed live from real public records. 450,377 pros vetted across 51 jurisdictions; 382,870 contractor licenses confirmed active against official state boards in 25 states; a Real Cost Index across 50 metros from real building permits; 31 computed studies; 46 agent-callable tools plus 68 open-data feeds.","source":"ProFix Directory's own live loaders over committed public-record datasets (state licensing-board rosters, public building permits, the board-lookup registry) and the published API surface.","methodology":"Every value is computed at build time from a live loader — none hardcoded. Each metric carries the exact loader that produced it in its `source` field. 'verifiedActiveLicenses' is licenses confirmed ACTIVE against an official board in the ingested-roster states only; 'matchedLicenseRecords' is the superset including expired/suspended. The board-lookup directory (50 states + DC) is where to verify a license yourself — it is NOT a verified roster. The cost index and the permit-match sample each cover a named subset of states, not the whole country.","coverageLimits":"Verified-active in 25 states; official board lookups for all 51 jurisdictions. The Real Cost Index covers 30 states / 50 metros. The pro-matched permit sample covers 16 states and is a sample, not a census. ProFix began in Toledo, Ohio, where city and neighborhood coverage is deepest.","sourcePage":"https://profixdirectory.com/by-the-numbers","feedUrl":"https://profixdirectory.com/api/transparency.json","asOf":"2026-06-20","usage":"Free to use with attribution to ProFix Directory (https://profixdirectory.com).","attribution":"ProFix Directory","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","cite":"ProFix Directory, \"By the Numbers\" (the directory's own computed-live aggregate statistics), as of 2026-06-20. https://profixdirectory.com/by-the-numbers","contactEmail":"press@profixdirectory.com","warranty":"No warranty.
