## Database use

```sql
SELECT * FROM profile_counts_by_firm ORDER BY distinct_profiles DESC;
SELECT * FROM profile_link_directory WHERE firm_id = 'kimchang';
SELECT * FROM profile_url_checks;
```

Use professional_profiles.html for searchable links. Source request parameters, retrieval dates and SHA-256 evidence digests are retained. Profile bodies were not extracted into the database; cached public directory responses and validation pages can contain embedded biographies.
