Sources, review and corrections
The product keeps official source material, structured screening rules and plain-language explanations separate so a change can be found, reviewed and tested.
The local SA Law evidence library contains 41,898 documents. The public release selects the official legislation, regulations, authority guidance, application pages and municipal policies needed for these benefits. Each selected source keeps its URL, retrieval date and file fingerprint.
Programme conditions, uncertainty, values, evidence and official channels are stored as versioned data. Important unknowns remain unknown; they are never completed by AI.
Rules have effective and review dates. A live student-funding call becomes due for review after 7 days and every other funding record after 30 days. Conflicting or sensitive material is quarantined until a human resolves it against the source evidence.
The current release contains 23 detailed-check rules and 69 basic regression examples. These automated examples protect known outcomes, but they are not yet a complete proof of every threshold or branch. Deeper boundary coverage and independent second review remain required.
Each indexable answer must have one clear search purpose, a direct answer, visible dates, contextual internal links and official citations. Thin keyword variants consolidate into the useful page.
When an official source changes, the affected rule and answer are reviewed together. Material conflicts are disclosed or removed from screening until the correction passes the evidence and regression checks.
Coverage today
The municipal catalogue covers all 257 municipalities for discovery work, but detailed household eligibility is currently released only for Buffalo City, Cape Town, Ekurhuleni, eThekwini, Johannesburg, Mangaung, Nelson Mandela Bay and Tshwane.
Capability labels
Each public result must say what the product actually did. These labels are release requirements, not marketing language.
A detailed programme check evaluated the answers against a released structured rule and returned a preliminary match state. The authority still decides the application.
The answers narrowed a reviewed catalogue to routes worth exploring. No eligibility rule was evaluated. The four-question finder and student-funding search use this mode.
A guide explains an official process or published status wording. It does not assess the visitor or access a government record.
The website does not search the full 2 GB legal database for every visitor. It runs a small, dated release of structured rules so the result is fast and reproducible. All 23 rules currently have one recorded review; an independent second-person review is still required. A passing rule test is not legal certification, and the final decision belongs to SASSA, UIF, NSFAS or the relevant municipality. Public indexing was enabled on 31 August 2026. Independent plain-language, legal, rules, accessibility and privacy-governance reviews remain outstanding and are not represented as complete.
