Each record is one quoted excerpt (field `excerpt`, with the part of a guide it belongs to, a note, and `marks`: which of six things that make a rule easy to follow it has, namely exact = an exact value, shown = a do and don't, limits = where it applies, why = a reason, file = the real file, dated = a date), one thing a guide leaves out (field `leaves-out`), or one fact about a guide, an AI tool or Rainbrand. Every record has the address it came from and the day it was checked. Quotes are verbatim and short; follow the source for the full guide.",
