How a note is checked

1. We start from a job a plant manager is about to buy, not from a list of cities.
2. We open the ordinance, the adopted code, or the health-department PDF. A homepage is not a source.
3. The first draft quotes or paraphrases that document and dates the day we read it. October 8, 2026 is the read date on the notes now live.
4. We ask the swap test. If Aurora’s sentence is also true in Naperville, we say so, and we keep Aurora only for the sentence Naperville does not share.
5. We re-read when the ordinance moves. A 2012 construction guide that is still posted gets its age said out loud.

Drafting assistance included software. A person still had to open the PDFs and throw out section numbers that did not say what a first pass claimed. If you want the human step in one line: we do not ship a fee we did not see on a table. Write corrections when we miss.
