Methods and Limits

EscrowMinutes is source-first public-record infrastructure. It is not a legal service, regulator ranking, or private-file review product.

Publication Gate

Register source, fetch official record, preserve URL and hash, extract text, classify topics, review low-confidence records, then publish only with limitation and correction path.

Structured First

Postgres and metadata come before embeddings. Vectors can help retrieval, but source fields and citation anchors carry trust.

Limits

Minutes may omit detail or summarize discussion. No topic match proves legal significance, negligence, compliance, private-file conduct, or total fraud activity.

Exa Scout Layer

Exa can discover candidate pages or changes. The canonical record remains the official source pulled into the registry.

Corrections

Corrections are part of the trust model. Every public record page should offer a correction path.

Freshness

This static v0 is generated on 2026-06-03T20:12:49.069Z. Production should run scheduled source checks and publish a weekly change page.
