Climate policy chain, one policy
GET api.truthbear.co/gauge/policy-region
Why an agent can trust this route.
Sonar evidence is advisory. Paid delivery is shown as verified only when paid probes are available; otherwise route estimates use the unpaid handshake as a clearly labeled proxy.
Observed outcomes
[3-LEG] Climate policy chain, one policy (?entity=kyoto-protocol): leading repeal proposals and judicial challenge -> current lifecycle from enacted to repealed, days alive -> realized dependency cascade when a policy dies (confirmation gate). A sequential chain, not one reading - confidence = how many legs are lit, in order. Sources: Federal Register, UNFCCC. Descriptive only, never a forecast or advice. No data -> 422 no_charge, not billed.
