Accountability
Public changelog and page-scoped correction links
Added /changelog for verified data and methodology changes, expanded the methodology corrections section, and wired data-page trust footers to /contact/?about=<page> so reports carry page context (this commit).
Trust fabric
Homepage AboutThisData trust band consolidated
Merged provenance, corrections pathway, FAQ, and data vintage into one AboutThisData block on the homepage (commit d9ae2a9).
Differentiation
LLC state pages: fee-stack branching and chrome cut
Removed identical CiteThis/PageTrustFooter chrome from LLC state detail pages and added filing-year / fee-schedule branching to reduce rendered sibling similarity (commits b525c04 and follow-on burn-down).
Open data
/statistics SOS fee table and CC0 CSV
Published the 51-jurisdiction Secretary of State LLC first-year fee table with a downloadable CSV at /data/llc-first-year-fees.csv (commit 8448bbc lineage).
Data truth
Removed interpretive clone blocks from LLC fee pages
Stripped repeated how-to, Census, and insurance essay blocks from every /llc-costs-by-state/ page so each state page is a SOS fee registry, not a formation guide (commit 3e489ce).
