Documentation layers

The spine keeps five concerns separate so each can be updated without rewriting everything:

  1. Task guidance — how a person finds and verifies legislation.
  2. Persona evidence — whose needs and risks the interface is designed around.
  3. Technical contract — ELI, Schema.org, CLML, manifestations, APIs and corpus completeness.
  4. Agent contract — progressive discovery and proposition-level provenance.
  5. Assurance — evaluation questions, scoring, validation and screenshot refresh evidence.

Boundaries

The pack is a legislation discovery and statutory-text research aid. It is not a case-law database, citator, substitute for checking commencement and territorial extent, or legal advice. Topic labels are derived from titles and are navigation aids rather than legal classifications.
