Congress and oversight
See the implementation contract created by the statute, upcoming deadlines, responsible actors, and the public evidence that should exist.
Purpose
A law is also an implementation schedule
Public laws create rulemakings, reports, studies, grants, pilots, enforcement duties, databases, and program changes. Those obligations are scattered across hundreds of pages of legislative text. This dashboard turns them into a navigable implementation inventory.
The current demonstration uses the enrolled text of H.R. 6644, the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act. It presents the same underlying inventory through three lenses: public oversight, agency work planning, and a public-facing promise schedule.
Implementing agencies
Translate statutory due dates into work queues, planning runways, recurring duties, and suggested operational playbooks.
People outside government
Understand what protections, funding, tools, reports, and opportunities to comment should become available—and when.
Method
How the data was collected
The inventory was produced through a structured, AI-assisted extraction process. The goal was traceability: every dashboard record should point back to an authority citation and the language from which it was derived.

Start with the official enrolled text
The corpus is the Government Publishing Office text of H.R. 6644 as enrolled. A plain-text copy is preserved in the repository so the extraction can be audited and rebuilt.
Decompose the statute title by title
An AI pass identified discrete, trackable obligations: an actor must or may produce a deliverable, operate a program, enforce a requirement, report, study, or take another observable action.
Turn each obligation into a structured record
Each record captures the responsible actor, agency bucket, action type, plain-language deliverable, authority citation, deadline language, computed date where possible, recurrence, sunset, statutory quote, and expected evidence source.
Normalize deadlines and recurring duties
Relative periods such as “180 days after enactment” were converted into calendar dates using July 11, 2026 as the enactment date. Recurring requirements remain marked separately from their first due date.
Check quoted language against the corpus
An automated verifier normalizes punctuation, whitespace, and line-break hyphenation, then confirms every quoted segment appears in the bundled enrolled text. All 208 current quotes pass that mechanical check.
Compute views in the browser
The page calculates countdowns and schedule-based statuses from the current date. Agency “start-by” dates use illustrative planning runways by deliverable type; they are not statutory deadlines or agency commitments.
Current scope
What the dashboard shows today
| It does | It does not yet |
|---|---|
| Inventory statutory obligations | Claim that the inventory is complete or legally definitive. |
| Compute deadline-based schedule status | Determine whether an agency has actually completed an obligation. |
| Name the evidence source to check | Continuously query Federal Register, GovInfo, Grants.gov, or agency systems. |
| Offer illustrative agency work planning | Represent an official agency plan, owner assignment, or resource estimate. |
| Expose the underlying quote and citation | Replace legal analysis, congressional oversight, or agency reporting. |
Potential
From concept demo to public infrastructure
The larger opportunity is not one dashboard for one law. It is a repeatable implementation layer for public laws—published alongside legislation and updated as evidence appears.
01
Evidence-backed status
Resolve obligations against Federal Register documents, GovInfo reports, Grants.gov notices, USASpending awards, agency pages, and congressional records. Preserve the evidence and the reasoning behind each status.
02
Human review and accountability
Add expert verification, change history, responsible office assignments, public corrections, and a clear distinction between machine suggestions and reviewed claims.
03
Alerts and operational workflows
Notify committees, agencies, journalists, and civil society when deadlines approach, evidence appears, implementation slips, or a recurring duty comes due again.
04
A reusable public-law standard
Publish the mandate inventory as structured data and an API so every enacted law can support dashboards, calendars, oversight tools, research, and institutional memory.
Open work
Designed to be inspectable
The repository includes the enrolled bill corpus, title-level extraction outputs, the final structured inventory, quote-verification tooling, the page template, and a reproducible build. That makes the demonstration reviewable rather than a sealed result.
