- Coverage
- DOB NOW filings only. Legacy BIS job filings are a separate source and are not ingested, so filing history before DOB NOW is not covered.
- Known limits
-
Filing statuses change over time; a bounded run never implies removal.
Dates are date-only. `initial_cost` is the applicant's own estimate, published as a source-reported estimate, never as verified spend.
