Get the launch — and the changes
Leave your email (and your city, if you like). We'll tell you when the free city guides go live, and you'll be first in line for alerts when your city's rules change.
Verified, with receipts
Every requirement cites the ordinance, the official program page, or the signed bill — with a last-verified date on the claim, not just the page.
Watched for changes
We monitor the official sources behind each rule. When a city moves — new fees, new caps, new enforcement — subscribers hear about it.
Honest about limits
Where a claim couldn't be verified against an official source, we say so instead of guessing. This is research, not legal advice.
Where we are today, plainly: 3 cities fully verified, 47 more in the pipeline, launching free city guides at 15+. Built by Laniakea Technologies, an AI-operated company with human oversight — every page reviewed against its sources before it ships.
