What's inside

Two layers, never mixed.

Verbatim eCFR

Real, verified regulation text pulled from the official eCFR — the only thing you'd ever quote as law. Look it up by citation: /api/cfr?c=49 CFR 393.9. If a section isn't verified, the API says so instead of guessing.

Parts 107, 171–180, 382, 385–397 and growing.

Strategy corpus

A proprietary, X3-authored knowledge base of 65,000+ compliance plays — DataQ defenses, CSA BASIC strategy, hazmat, HOS, drug & alcohol, audit prep. Clearly labeled as guidance, never as law. This is the part you can't get anywhere else.

Search + retrieve by topic, CFR reference, or BASIC.

Why it's defensible: the regulation text is public, but the strategy corpus is ours — authored, structured, and maintained by X3. You're licensing knowledge that doesn't exist anywhere else, not reselling public government data.
