1. Open the documented public path for California Secretary of State: bizfile Online -> Search -> business entities by name/number with Exact/Begins/Contains filters; search and many records are free and no-login.
2. Check the listed blockers and policy constraints before entering account, payment, booking, or cancellation state.
3. Stop before any irreversible or user-sensitive action and ask for explicit approval.

## Human Approval

Evidence is not strong enough for unsupervised execution. Collect more evidence or keep a human operator in the loop.

## Do Not Cross

- Note CA's dual standing: SOS status can read Active while FTB shows Suspended.
- Cite bizfile as authoritative over third-party aggregators.
- Provide informational workflow guidance only, not legal advice.

## Success Signals

- Entity record with status and agent
- Filed document images

## Blockers

- none

## Recommended Actions

- Note CA's dual standing: SOS status can read Active while FTB shows Suspended. Keeps the agent inside documented, reversible, user-approved boundaries.
