Honest scope
Coverage you can count, not page count theater.
The launch set is intentionally small. DwellDocket expands after each source, parser, review path, and public record meets the same standard.
Published pilot
4 verified states · 8 public rule fields
Residential security deposits are the initial wedge because the field is useful to readers, comparable across states, and traceable to official statutes.
Coverage ladder
Expansion follows proof.
This order replaces the original “all 50 states plus 100 STR markets before launch” assumption, which would create accuracy debt before the monitoring system earns trust.
- Gate 1 · Live pilot
Four-state security deposit pilot
Public records, source links, D1 versions, change queue, build and edge checks.
Exit: 30 unattended days with useful, low-noise source checks. - Gate 2
Complete the 50 states + DC
Add state records in reviewed batches; comparisons expand only with each verified row.
Exit: 100% citation coverage and manageable weekly review time. - Gate 3
Second landlord–tenant cluster
Select entry notice, termination notice, or another field using search demand and source reliability.
Exit: traffic and conversion evidence justify broader depth. - Gate 4
Top STR markets
Rank markets from a named, dated, licensable listing-volume dataset—never an invented top-100 list.
Exit: source monitoring is proven for city and county portals.
Suppression rule
What “not published” means
A missing state, city, or field means DwellDocket has not published a verified record. It does not mean the jurisdiction has no rule. Review and suppressed records are excluded from pages, sitemaps, comparisons, and API results.
