License-number accuracy in a regulated trade = where human oversight matters; DOP differentiator = verified, human-approved contractor listings. +- **PoC-style entry:** Free audit → Stay Found. Standard. +- **Conversion patterns:** High-ticket tangible-loss framing is effective; DOP should use real (sourced) project-value ranges. +- **Differentiation:** License/permit accuracy + human verification is a wedge Bizl doesn't address. + +
