Legislative Chain

Legislative chain data models how legal authorities and ordinances relate to a code section over time. For v1, relationship edges are represented as directed links with explicit semantics:
  • relationship_type
  • source_verification_status
  • analysis_confidence
The API returns records that show what legal source supports each relationship, not just abstract graph links. For prospects, this is the core trust layer: it explains why a section appears as it does and what legal relationships support that interpretation.

For developers

Developer-facing implementation maps lineage edges and supporting evidence records into API-facing chain objects.
