Solo practice · Solo practitioner
A simple citation checker with an API key
A fictional solo practitioner replaced a two-pass highlighter review with a short script that finds citations and verifies them against the API, with a local cache so revisions are cheap.
“Placeholder quote: the piece that made statutes verifiable rather than merely findable.”
This is a fictional case study that mirrors the shape of a public customer story: the problem, the approach, and the result.
Problem: citation review was done by hand in two passes, which was slow and easy to get wrong.
Approach: a short script extracts citations from a draft, resolves each through the API, and caches the answers locally so revisions only re-check what changed.
Result: a repeatable check that takes minutes. (No real metrics are claimed here.)
