# Disciplinary actions on Colorado licences — what the record means — dora-co

> 13,925 of 597,451 active Colorado licences carry a disciplinary action. Why this site publishes counts and not names.

## Discipline: the counts, and where this site stops

DORA records the action and a case number, and no reason at all. This page explains what that record is, and why no page here attaches one to a name.

### ⚠️ Read the two most common entries carefully

A **stipulation** is an agreement between the licensee and the
board; a **letter of admonition** is a written caution. Together
they are the large majority of what is recorded here. Neither is a finding that
someone is dangerous, and neither stops them practising — every licence counted
on this page is **active**.

DORA gives no reason for any of it. So a reader cannot tell, from this file,
whether an action followed a paperwork failure or something serious. That is a
limit of the record, and pretending otherwise would be inventing.

### Where this site draws the line

DORA publishes all of this behind a search tool: you arrive with a name in
your hand. Turning it into indexable pages would build something the source
does not have — a searchable list of sanctioned professionals, findable by
people who were not looking for them.

- **No page names a person alongside an action.** The tables on
profession, city and family pages have no discipline column.
- **No page lists “the disciplined of X”.**
- **No case number on any page.**
- **The counts are published** everywhere, because a rate is a
fact about the system.
- **The detail appears on an individual entry**, quoted from
DORA without addition, rendered in your browser from the part of the address
after the `#` — no URL, no indexing.
