Minimum-wage compliance
Vendors sell the table. We run the layer.
A citation-backed minimum-wage layer for every US jurisdiction — state, county, and city — that maintains itself. Each rule carries its source citation and effective date, refreshed on its own schedule, with conflict-detection across sources instead of silently averaging them.
The hard part was never the fifty states — payroll teams know those. It's the city ordinance in a metro you forgot you employ someone in, that changed on a schedule nobody was watching, that you can't cite when an auditor or an employee asks. Most “minimum wage by state” resources are a table someone typed once and a footer that says last updated: who knows.

Why this exists
Wage-compliance data is a barbell with an empty middle: free but incomplete (state and federal tables, mostly historical, rarely city-granular or cited per rule) on one end, and expensive, quote-gated enterprise suiteson the other. Nobody owns the posted, self-serve, affordable, cited, city-level middle. That's this — paying people the legal minimum shouldn't require a research project every quarter.
