The underlying research inventory contains 7 New Hampshire treatment records across 5 product families. The inventory includes effective-date, evidence, rate-class, local-interaction, and sourcing fields. Its breadth is not a claim that every observed treatment is active in production: unresolved or independently unreviewed records remain non-operative.

Product availability varies by jurisdiction and customer configuration. Workflow support does not by itself establish registration, filing authority, credentials, agency acceptance, or tax advice.
This guide is grounded in the repository's reviewed filing, marketplace, certificate, and tax-authority records. Rules change; confirm the current source and effective period before acting.
