Companies with the mechanical classification on a Louisiana contractor license, each traced to its license record.
Origination is still bought by the hour, and it stops the day the analyst stops. We read Louisiana’s public record instead. List #1 is built from contractor license records.
List #1 has four companies. Each has a contractor license record at the Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors with the mechanical classification. Each brief gives what the board’s record shows: the company name, the license number, its status and dates, the classifications, the mailing address as recorded by the board, and the qualifying party named on the license.
Coming later: a new list every Monday until the program ends on November 30, 2026, and screening against each partner’s thesis.
How list #1 was made
- We read contractor license records. List #1 comes from the Licensing Board for Contractors’ public license records. All four companies have the mechanical classification on their license.
- Each brief shows what the record shows: the license, its status and dates, the mailing address as recorded by the board, and the qualifying party named on it. It says nothing about what the company does, who owns it, or any plans for it.
- Verification checks each brief before a partner sees it.
Coming later: a new list every Monday until the program ends on November 30, 2026, and screening against each partner’s thesis, so that a list is matched to what you told us. Today your thesis is saved and read by Jaime Albella, and it does not change list #1.
Who does the reading
The reading and writing are done by AI agents rather than by analysts. Which makes the next sentence the one that matters:
The work is divided so that nobody’s findings count as checked until someone else has checked them. Whoever surfaces a company does not get to clear it, and nothing reaches you without that second pass.
Verification means one thing mechanically: the checking agent re-opens the named license record and compares it field by field against the brief. If the record cannot be retrieved, a field does not match, or the brief says more than the record does, the company is dropped from that list rather than sent with a caveat attached.
A signal that cannot be traced back to an original record does not ship. That rule is not a preference we could quietly drop on a slow week; it is written into how the work is divided.
What a brief names
In list #1, each brief names the company as the record spells it, and the qualifying party or parties named on its contractor license, as recorded by the Licensing Board for Contractors. A name is spelled exactly as the record spells it.
Phone and email appear on the board’s record and are left out. Every fact except the year figures is a field on the board’s record.
Here is the company, here is the name on its license. The approach is yours to make or not make. We never make it.
There is no button on this site that asks us to introduce you, because there is no version of this service that includes one. What we never do sets out the rest.
Why this exists
Finding a company to look at starts with reading public records. List #1 does that reading for one slice of the board’s licenses. All four of its companies have the mechanical classification on their contractor license.
What it costs
Design partners are free until the program ends on November 30, 2026. The $500 a month price comes later.
There is nothing to buy on this page and nothing is charged. We are looking for a first group of searchers who will read list #1 and tell us plainly what they would pay for it.
What we can say is what list #1 is: four companies, each with the mechanical classification on its contractor license. The counts, as released, are on How this list was built: how many records were read, how many failed, and how many briefs were verified.

Questions
- Why did I get this company?
- Each brief says why. In list #1 the reason is on the record: the license was first issued 15 or more years before the date the record was read, and the brief shows the status and dates on that record. The list is the same for every accepted partner and is not matched to your thesis. Matching to your thesis is coming later.
- Where does this come from?
- List #1 comes from the contractor license records of the Licensing Board for Contractors. They are public, and free to look at.
- Do you contact the owners?
- No. Not ever, under any circumstance. No click on this site can cause it either, because there is no control here that could.
- What if a fact is wrong?
- Tell us. Each brief is checked by verification before a partner sees it, so a wrong fact is treated as a failure of that check rather than as a complaint, and verification re-checks it against the record and logs the result.
- Do other design partners get the same companies?
- In list #1, yes. Every accepted design partner gets the same list. We do not sell exclusivity, because the records are public and anyone may read them. Lists matched to a partner’s thesis are coming later.
- Can I change my thesis?
- Yes, at any time. Send a new version from the thesis form. Each version is saved, and you can delete any of them from your own page. Your thesis does not change list #1, because list #1 is not screened against it. Screening against it is coming later.
