Documents each filing names, in the source's words
We count a row as “quote found in source” when we found the quoted sentence in the cited source, or in our saved copy of it. This does not show that we read the source correctly. 10 rows are marked for review.
How we keep this current
- ✓Sources: Every deadline, fee and exemption quotes its source and links to it. Each source is a statute, a regulation, or an agency's own page, form or guide.
- ✓Nightly quote check: Each night a script looks for each verified quote on its source page. If the page gives an error or no answer, or is a short page without the quote, the script looks for the quote in our saved copies of that page. It does the same for a host that asked us not to fetch its pages. A copy counts only if it is less than a year old.
- ✓Deploy-time checks: before each release, the deploy runs a set of tests against the production database. If a test fails, the release stops. The tests check that the list of states and the primary form names match the database, and that each state has a guide page and at least one row in the filing calendar.
- ✓Public record: /api/quality gives the “quote found in source” counts as machine-readable JSON. The /change-log lists every database migration and changes to the state facts. Anyone can read both without an account.
