What we add, and what we do not

We normalize identifiers, resolve people and organizations across systems, transcribe proceedings, and compute statutory clocks under a recorded rule version. We do not assert relationships the record does not support, and inferred claims are labelled as inferred.

Corrections

This page will set out how to report an error, what we correct at source and what we can only annotate, and how long that takes.
