Source and version model
Every registered policy has a jurisdiction, official URL, source-check date, status and version. Updates create new versions rather than overwriting history. Publication, announcement, effective and review dates are separate fields.
Active means reviewed for grounded information use. Under review means a source is registered but not approved for grounded AI answers. Announced changes are not described as legally effective before their effective date.
Monitoring and human approval
Automated government-site monitoring is disabled in this implementation until source-specific connectors and review workflows are configured. This status is displayed publicly. Sensitive or uncertain changes require an administrator decision before entering the verified feed.
AI-generated text is never the sole source of legal or policy truth. Administrators can compare versions, reject proposed changes and inspect audit logs.
Corrections
Use Contact & complaints to report a broken source, outdated requirement or misleading summary. Include the official URL and relevant effective date. Corrections should be reviewed and recorded as new policy versions.
