Data Integrity

How we verify, version, and monitor every data point in your strategy.

1. Authoritative Data Registry

  • All fee data, deadlines, and draw systems are sourced from official state Fish & Game agency sources.
  • Every state entry carries a sourceUrl linking to the authoritative agency page.
  • Data snapshots are versioned for traceability.

2. Verification Cadence

  • State data is verified against official sources before each application season.
  • The full dataset runs through a monthly accuracy audit.
  • Every state shows a “Last Verified” timestamp in the app.
  • Stale data (beyond the application-season window) is flagged automatically.

3. Fee Reconciliation

  • Fees are itemized line-by-line: qualifying license, application fee, point fee, and tag cost.
  • Resident vs. nonresident fees are resolved by your home state.
  • All fee line items support sourceUrl and lastVerified fields for individual audit.

4. Deadline Integrity

  • All application deadlines include IANA timezone designators (e.g. America/Denver).
  • Deadline warnings surface ahead of close with urgency-tiered badges.
  • Draw result dates are tracked per species per state.

5. What We Monitor

  • Data version drift (comparing current vs. ingested snapshot).
  • Fee discrepancy reports from user feedback.
  • Deadline accuracy complaints.
  • Strategy recompute stability.

6. How to Report an Error

  • If you find incorrect data, email support@tag-planner.com.
  • One wrong fee is a big deal to us. We treat every report as a priority.
  • Corrections are published with a version bump and a changelog entry.
