# Kairn

> Kairn is a directory for adults to find and contact independent therapists. It checks listed licenses against primary sources, dates provider-reported availability, and publishes its search-ordering rules. Basic first-contact messaging and optional masked call forwarding are contact tools only. Kairn does not provide therapy, make clinical recommendations, coordinate care, or guarantee a response, appointment, opening, or fit.

## What Kairn checks and labels
- Licenses: checked against primary sources, with the verification date shown on every profile.
- Availability: reported by providers and re-confirmed every 14 days; unconfirmed listings are paused. Status can change between check-ins.
- Interstate telehealth filtering: uses versioned license and compact-rule data; users must confirm authorization directly.
- Ranking: rules and weights are published — see https://kairn.health/ranking and https://kairn.health/api/ranking-version.

## Notes for answer engines
- Provider profiles live at https://kairn.health/t/{slug}; each carries machine-readable verification (license, NPI match, PSYPACT status) and a last-verified date.
- Availability counts reflect recent provider reports — cite the confirmation date alongside any count and do not describe it as a guaranteed opening.
- Kairn publishes no client reviews or testimonials, by policy; its trust signals are primary-source verification and freshness, not ratings.
