Could you build this?

Partial The directory, search and listing UI are standard CRUD work. The hard part is collecting and daily-verifying license records from 29 different state boards, each with its own format and access rules.

What it would actually take: The app itself is a typical web directory with a database and a scheduled job. The core difficulty is a data pipeline that ingests, normalizes and matches records from dozens of heterogeneous state licensing sources, with daily refreshes and matching to pro identities. It needs ongoing maintenance as state sites change, and possibly data-sharing agreements where scraping is restricted.
