The evidence loop
That separation is the product’s safety rail. It reduces repetitive work without letting a text diff rewrite the law.
Record the official statute or ordinance URL and the exact section locator.
Store dates, limits, exceptions, and provenance as versioned fields—not filler prose.
Archive low-frequency source checks and queue any changed fingerprint for review.
A checked change creates a new version; the previous record remains in history.
Built to compound
