Shortlist replaces people’s names in the state’s text with initials. This is done by rule, not by hand, so it can miss a name or shorten a word that isn’t one. The state’s report, linked on each row, has the original.

The ages on the license are what the state licenses it to care for, which can be wider than the ages it takes.
