## Summary

The author biography for Struvia's CEO on the company's own blog. It is a short page carrying three
things nothing else located establishes: **the company's Utah County location**, its **founders'
backgrounds**, and — because the byline was never updated after the rebrand — a first-party statement
still naming the company **Bidi Contracting**.

That stale byline is the point. Combined with the redirect from `bidicontracting.com` to `struvia.co`,
it fixes the two names to one company.

## Useful Claims

- The company is placed in **Utah County, UT**.
- **Baylor Jeppsen is a co-founder**, described as building AI-powered construction estimating and bid
  management software for general contractors.
- He **studied Information Systems at BYU** and holds a **Master's of Information Systems Management**.
- He was **part of the university's Sandbox entrepreneurship program**, per the company's own account.
- His background is stated as years working directly with general contractor and subcontractor teams
  on takeoff workflows, preconstruction operations, and construction technology adoption, and before
  that rolling out technology systems across large organizations.
- **The byline reads "Co-founder, Bidi Contracting"** on a page served from the Struvia domain, after
  the rename.

## Reliability Notes

Self-reported tier: a company biography of its own founder, written to establish credibility. The
career narrative is exactly the kind of claim a bio makes and nothing here corroborates it — no
employer is named, no dates are given, and the degrees are unverified against the university.

Its evidentiary value is **structural rather than substantive**, and rests on the fact that this page
is out of date:

- **The stale byline is better evidence than a current one would be.** A page still calling the
  company "Bidi Contracting" while served from `struvia.co` is an artifact of an incomplete rename,
  not a statement anyone crafted. Together with the HTTP redirect from the old domain it establishes
  the identity of the two names about as well as a first-party source can.
- **The location claim is the only one located.** "Utah County, UT" appears here and nowhere else in
  any captured source; no corporate registration confirming a Utah domicile has been found. It is the
  company saying where it is, which is a public claim it is accountable for and weaker than a filing.

**On the Sandbox reference:** this is the company publishing its own founder's background on its own
website. It is recorded because Struvia said it publicly, is not drawn from any private directory, and
supports no claim about the product or the business.

Because this is a blog author page rather than a corporate page, it is **likely to be corrected or
removed** once someone notices the byline — which is precisely why it is captured.
