Publication identity and subject.
Confidence applies to the scope above, not every claim made by the underlying source. How confidence works
An explanation of the purpose behind Codify, published by the Tony Blair Institute. Digitising the law makes it easier to work with the rules already on the books, before deciding how they should change.
It connects the engineering work to the older ambition explored in For the Love of Law: making a complex legal inheritance understandable and usable.
