## FAQ

### How fresh is the data?
Upstream providers refresh on their own cadence. Treat data older than 12 months as stale for high-stakes outreach.

### Does this work for commercial properties?
Limited. Residential is the primary use case.

### What's the difference between this and `associated-people`?
This returns the *legal owner* (one or two persons). `associated-people` returns everyone the address can be linked to (residents, relatives, prior owners).
