Compare approaches
Breadth-first directory or evidence-first territory?
A category-level comparison of two product approaches. We avoid unverifiable competitor numbers and focus on the choices a buyer can evaluate directly.
| Decision | Broad directory | Public Tally direction |
|---|---|---|
| Territory shape | Broad national inventory | Named, verified state coverage |
| Evidence | Varies by provider | Official source remains attached |
| Publication | Inventory-first | Certification and fail-closed rules |
| Workflow | Often export-oriented | Territory, pipeline, proposals, reports |
| Claim boundary | Provider-specific | Source facts and product conclusions stay separate |
“Broad directory” describes a general category, not a named competitor. Actual vendors differ; buyers should verify current product terms, methodology, coverage, and evidence policies with each provider.
