DayMark Record

History should never disappear.

When an official public record changes later, LightHouse can preserve the earlier event and append the new evidence rather than silently replacing history.

Public Activity Record

Source-linked chronology with earlier and later official records retained separately.

Adapter

DayMark chronology ready

The template will render immutable record events after the state adapter and private LightHouse evidence layer are connected.

Ready
History

No fabricated political scores

Public output can show verified chronology and Beacon evidence confidence without inventing unsupported activity data.

Source-first
Accountability workflows

Ask the official — or request the records.

Authenticated submissions are validated server-side, audited and routed without exposing official or custodian email mappings in page HTML.

PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST

Request the underlying records.

Use the national guided gateway with Florida already selected.

Open guided request →
COMPLETE THE RECORD

Close an evidence gap.

Public-record responses can be ingested back into the evidence graph and improve the published record.

Supply, affordability, development and public policy affecting communities.

Infrastructure

Transportation, utilities and public capital projects supporting communities.
