Purpose of the SICA score
The SICA score is a directory comparison aid. It is not a state licence decision, certification, warranty, endorsement, or prediction of project outcome.
Evidence categories
Profiles may use available licensing identifiers, public review volume and rating, business-detail completeness, data freshness, complaint information when a reliable source exists, and documented longevity. Missing evidence is labelled as unavailable and is not converted into a verified claim.
Source hierarchy
- Government and regulator records.
- First-party business documents and official websites.
- Named third-party platforms for review signals.

Limitations
