Triage a local permit question

First step

For a fictional project, record only a broad jurisdiction label and scope summary, then separate the statewide contractor-license question from the local permit question. Fictional example: add a local-authority evidence row: official jurisdiction URL or contact to verify, date checked, project-scope question, permit answer status, source reference, decision owner, and next check. Leave the answer PENDING until that particular authority confirms it; this lesson does not query local permits.

The sheet has distinct state-license and local-permit rows with no claim that either answers the other. The state-license and local-permit rows each show their own source and status, with no copied decision from another locality.

A statewide license is treated as proof that the specific project needs no local permit.
