About
The answer is usually already written down.
Look across. Know within. Townory exists because municipal knowledge is not missing — it is scattered across other municipalities' documents and across a municipality's own closed files.
The problem
A planner asked how to handle an unfamiliar situation has two good instincts: find out how comparable municipalities handled it, and find out how this municipality handled it last time. Both answers exist. Both are expensive to retrieve, and both are easy to retrieve wrongly — a superseded by-law, a recommendation mistaken for a decision, a condition assumed to have been cleared.
The approach
Rather than index everything and hope, documents are verified into scope one at a time, with their identity, version, status and extraction fidelity established before anything may cite them. Answers are then composed only from what is in scope, and checked back against the passages cited.
The result is narrower than a search engine and far more defensible. Coverage grows one verified document at a time, and the product says plainly where its coverage ends.
Where it is today
This is a preview build. Coverage focuses on selected Ontario municipalities, and the internal-record workspace runs against a synthetic municipality built for demonstration so it can be shown without exposing anyone's real files.
