Executive Summary

Root task complete — all 6 child tasks delivered. BeenVerified deep-dive concluded: consumer-grade public-records aggregator founded 2007, 1.5M+ subscribers, 15 data categories (people, vehicles, property, contact info, court records, etc.), fully paid subscription ($24-37/mo, $1 trial), NO public API (enterprise-gated only), Fair-to-Poor reliability (2.4/5 stars, 46% recommend), parent company Intelius has $10M+ class action settlements, not FCRA-compliant.

📊 Key Findings

Verdict: unsuitable for professional/programmatic/background-check use. API-first alternatives recommended: Pipl, Whitepages Pro, TLOxp, LexisNexis.

📌 Next Steps

→ If programmatic people-search is needed, evaluate Pipl API first
→ Compare Whitepages Pro API vs Pipl for cost and coverage
→ For FCRA-compliant use, benchmark TLOxp and LexisNexis
