Key findings
The chart tracks state documents accepted into this research file. It cannot identify places without an AI policy.
The file includes local documents from New York City and Fairfax. State research remains unassessed for New York and Virginia. Local documents cannot complete state research.
The district pilot covers six units. Reviewers accepted three documents. Reviewers still need to qualify the controlling documents for three units. Neither count proves that the file contains every local policy.
