# ProveHound

> ProveHound is a search engine for local contractors (Denver and Boulder metro, Colorado) that ranks pros by a Proof Score built only from verifiable evidence: state license records (Colorado DORA, re-checked nightly), Colorado Secretary of State good standing, insurance certificates approved by a person, jobs confirmed by the customer through a link we email them, and measured response times. Every point links to its source and check date. Rankings cannot be bought.
