What's next

The 50-state rollout

We're shipping in waves of highest-volume / highest-complexity states first. After New York: Florida, Texas, Colorado, Washington — then Oregon, Massachusetts, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and the rest of the country.

UK and EU coverage planned once the US cluster is stable. If a state you ride in is missing, the legality checker covers all 50 US states + the UK + EU at the rule-summary level.
