Editorial methodology

Verification before velocity.

The Reporter is designed to be timely without treating speed as a substitute for legal accuracy.

Defined weekly window

Monday through Sunday in Pacific Time; outside events are context.

Official statutes, histories, regulations, releases, orders, and court records control.

Event, publication, enactment, effective, and operative dates are distinct.

Repeated items require a material change.

Green may publish; yellow requires qualification; red is withheld.

Automated runs prepare drafts and never overwrite the public report.
