Locate the primary document
A future policy story would begin with the official text and identify the issuing body, relevant jurisdiction, and document date. Commentary would be clearly separated from the record.
This sample does not report a legal change or describe the current legal status of kratom in any jurisdiction.
Identify the stage
Our proposed checklist asks whether the document is a proposal, an adopted measure, guidance, or another type of record. We would verify dates and describe the document's stage using the official source.
Publish the context
Industry reporting should make it possible for readers to follow the source trail. Future stories would include direct references and state what remains unresolved. They would not substitute for advice from a qualified legal professional.
