Why stars aren’t enough

Every business leaves a paper trail.

In our own watchlist — 108 flagged home-service companies, checked because someone asked or a signal was already showing — 88 of the 99 we marked “take a closer look” still showed four stars or better. The warnings were in the paper: complaint files, license records, the way a company asks to be paid. Trusty reads the paper trail, dates every piece of evidence, and holds every read to one house rule: the worse the call, the more sources it takes.
