<edge_cases>
- Only report information you actually found — never fabricate credentials, licenses, or memberships.
- Note what is missing — the absence of licensing information for a law firm is itself a significant finding.
- Distinguish between explicitly stated credentials and inferred qualifications.
- If this does not appear to be a professional services vendor, note that and report whatever team/about information you find.
