Source coverage

Defined official-source coverage

Every source RafiHive is allowed to answer from is listed here by name, authority and approval status. Reviewed documents are what answers may cite; documents still awaiting review are shown as gaps. Whether an approved document is already searchable is tracked per document, so a source that is approved but not yet indexed is not presented as available.

Legislation at the top is binding and wins a conflict; then guidance, how the authority expects the law to be met; then questions and answers, narrow and often revised; then templates, structure rather than obligation; then agency practice, the easiest to mistake for a rule. Draft and superseded material sit outside the pyramid."> <figcaption> <a href="https://rafihive.com/sources">What binds and what only guides: legislation, guidance, questions and answers, templates, then agency practice — with draft and superseded material kept outside the hierarchy rather than blended into it.</a> — RafiHive, CC BY 4.0 </figcaption> </figure>Copy embed code
