What we learned
- Plenty of leads: about 220 new Allegheny businesses a week.
- Timing: state records show up about a month after filing; county health records about three months.
- AI tagging needed: names alone leave half the businesses unclear.
- Hidden by default: 45 businesses at shared agent addresses, plus hospital and nursing-home kitchens.
