Ready as a source locator, not independent claim verification. E-reader capture screens, not print pagination. All numbers need the original year, geography and unit. The US-labelled table sits in Kentucky-focused prose; 315 percent growth fits the 1999 baseline, not the introduction’s 2000 wording. Planned openings are not actual openings. Training descriptions are not endorsements or present course prices; SB11 is historical, not current legal guidance.
