Why courthouse beats database
Six reasons clients move off database-only providers.

Court records are up to the minute. Databases lag, miss, or drop records.
Verified identity
SSN trace + residency history ensures matches are the actual candidate.
Complete dispositions
Every disposition, every sentence. No truncated or stale entries.
FCRA compliance
Records come from courts, not commercial aggregators, compliance by construction.
