## Access points

Every HTML page has a Markdown twin at the same path with the `.md` extension. Example: `/how-to-read/` -> `/how-to-read.md`. Links inside the Markdown files already point to the twins.

Search index, served as JSON with open CORS:

- `https://wa-public-works-records.pages.dev/d/n/cles.json` — the name-index keys
- `https://wa-public-works-records.pages.dev/d/n/<key>.json` — names starting with that key -> [UBI, name, city, state, intents filed, latest year]
- `https://wa-public-works-records.pages.dev/d/r/<UBI mod 4096, 3 hex digits>.json` — contractor records
- `/sitemap.xml` — every page

These paths are **version 1** and will not change without notice. Bulk access, an availability guarantee or a change feed goes through `/pro/`.

## What this site is NOT

- This is not the official register and does not replace consulting it.
- Holding a licence is the minimum legal requirement, not a quality mark.
- One record per contractor (UBI), built from its intents to pay prevailing wages.
- An intent is filed before the work: it is not proof of work done or wages paid.
- Amounts are as declared on each filing and must not be summed.
- This site ranks no one.
