# The content canon

Everything published under the Callable Law canon, organized by cluster. Status is the frontmatter's word: **ready** ships on its calendar slot; **hold** waits on the machinery its own thesis requires. The standing rule for every piece: no piece writes a check the roster can't cash ([The Roster Test](flagships/the-roster-test.md), published as our editorial gate).

## Flagships

### Canon (the vocabulary claim)

| Piece | One line | Status |
|---|---|---|
| [Callable Law](flagships/callable-law.md) | The manifesto: the legal system already has a public API — nobody had written the client library. The Dead End's three faces, and the end of it. | ready |
| [The Reserved Act Is an API Contract](flagships/the-reserved-act-is-an-api-contract.md) | Reserved acts are the type system of legal authority — and typing them protects the license better than fog ever did. The bar-journal crossover. | ready |
| [The Roster Test](flagships/the-roster-test.md) | Our editorial gate, published: every liveness claim is checked against the tables the router runs on. | ready |

### Economics and federal corridors

| Piece | One line | Status |
|---|---|---|
| [The $400 Hour Is a Bug](flagships/the-400-dollar-hour-is-a-bug.md) | Hourly legal pricing is mispackaged law: the reserved judgment inside a filing targets 8–25 minutes. Price that slice flat and both sides win. | ready |
| [Sperry, 1963](flagships/sperry-1963.md) | *Sperry v. Florida*, 373 U.S. 379: the unanimous holding that federal authorization preempts state UPL — the case the patent rail stands on. | ready |

### Keyless tier (the data-tier funnel)

| Piece | One line | Status |
|---|---|---|
| [The Keyless Tier](flagships/the-keyless-tier.md) | Reading a fact is never reserved, however much AI does it — public legal facts start keyless, and the research category dies to GET. | ready |
| [Which Reads Stay Free Forever](flagships/which-reads-stay-free-forever.md) | The keyless policy, ratified: facts about a single identified asset stay free forever; watches, monitors, bulk, and search meter. | ready |

### Stack map (the Q1 joins)

| Piece | One line | Status |
|---|---|---|
| [Eleven Products, One Journal](flagships/eleven-products-one-journal.md) | The $30B legal software stack is eleven mutable-row views over three nouns — Matter, Asset, Journal — with the event dictionary under it. | ready |
| [The Firm Compiles Down to Twelve Resources](flagships/the-firm-compiles-down-to-twelve-resources.md) | Practice management coordinates humans who lose state. Agents don't — so the practice becomes the API, and the seat license has nothing to sell. | ready |
| [Your Client File Is One GET](flagships/your-client-file-is-one-get.md) | Rule 1.16(d) surrender as one portable read — privilege typed at write time, the Privilege Boundary as the authorization model. | ready |

### Money

| Piece | One line | Status |
|---|---|---|
| [No Filing, No Charge](flagships/no-filing-no-charge.md) | Billing releases only on the government receipt; no state in the machine holds an unearned fee. Trust accounting isn't disrupted, it's deleted. | **hold** — ships the week the Meter has released on real government receipts, not before |

## Patent column (the live wedge)

| Piece | One line | Status |
|---|---|---|
| [Patent Is the Proof, Not the Boundary](patent/hub.md) | The hand-written hub: one column wired end to end, prior-art search to signed utility filing, as the working proof. | ready |
| [File a Provisional](patent/file-provisional.md) | The open act: pro-se-fileable, same-afternoon, $199 flat, receipt-metered. | ready |
| [File a Utility Patent](patent/file-utility.md) | The reserved act end to end: what PENDING_SIGNER means, how the Attestation and receipt return, and the agent recipe. | ready |
| [The Office-Action Response](patent/oa-response.md) | Drafted by an agent, attacked by an adversarial panel, signed by a practitioner — the column's recurring beat. | ready |
| [The IDS at Its Smallest Grain](patent/ids.md) | Nearly zero drafting, nearly pure certification — the cleanest specimen of the reserved signature class. | ready |

## gigs.lawyer — "On Your Terms" (supply side)

| Piece | One line | Status |
|---|---|---|
| [Full Fee for a No](gigs/full-fee-for-a-no.md) | A reasoned Declination completes the engagement and pays the full flat Legal Fee — final against every process, meter, and operator. | ready |
| [The Nineteen-Minute Practice](gigs/the-nineteen-minute-practice.md) | The 8–25 minute Review is not a shrunken hour — it is the derived grain of one reserved judgment. | ready |
| [Your Conflicts, Your Ledger](gigs/your-conflicts-your-ledger.md) | The first conflicts system that follows the license, not the firm — practitioner-owned, append-forever, hashed platform-side. | ready |

## Glossary (one DefinedTerm page per ratified noun)

[Glossary index](glossary/README.md) — 25 ratified nouns, each with its definition, boundaries, and what it is not. All ready.

Matter lifecycle: [Matter](glossary/matter.md) · [Asset](glossary/asset.md) · [Signal](glossary/signal.md) · [Consent](glossary/consent.md)

## /can/ answer grid (AEO)

[/can/ index](can/README.md) — every capability row rendered as a question, answer first. 18 rows, all ready. Reserved rows outside the patent rail answer honestly: reserved, and not yet ratified for service.

Reads: [prior art](can/search-prior-art.md) · [patent status](can/check-patent-status.md) · [trademark status](can/check-trademark-status.md) · [entity standing](can/check-entity-standing.md) · [UCC lien](can/check-ucc-lien.md) · [court docket](can/pull-court-docket.md)

## Compiled artifacts (the Catalog is the CMS)

| Artifact | One line | Status |
|---|---|---|
| [The Reserved-Act Atlas, v1](compiled/reserved-act-atlas.md) | Every ratified matter type × verb — open, reserved, credential, rail, utterance classes — compiled from the table that routes production traffic. | ready |
| [catalog.json](compiled/catalog.json) | The typed capability catalog, machine-readable. | ready |
| [llms.txt](compiled/llms.txt) / [llms-full.txt](compiled/llms-full.txt) | The model front door, compiled from the same sources that route the work. | ready |

## The 90-day publication order

From the ratified calendar (docs/brainstorms/2026-07-25-legal-stack-and-content/SYNTHESIS.md §3), gated on the build order — Step 0 machinery and the Sperry ocean only.

**Days 0–14 — the vocabulary claim.**
1. [Callable Law](flagships/callable-law.md)
2. [The Reserved Act Is an API Contract](flagships/the-reserved-act-is-an-api-contract.md)
3. [Reserved-Act Atlas v1](compiled/reserved-act-atlas.md) + [catalog.json](compiled/catalog.json) + [llms.txt](compiled/llms.txt)/[llms-full.txt](compiled/llms-full.txt) + the [glossary](glossary/README.md) — one compiled release
4. [The Roster Test](flagships/the-roster-test.md)

**Days 15–30 — the keyless funnel and the arithmetic.**
5. The [/can/ grid](can/README.md), all ratified rows; unratified rows render "not yet ratified"
6. [The $400 Hour Is a Bug](flagships/the-400-dollar-hour-is-a-bug.md)
7. [Sperry, 1963](flagships/sperry-1963.md)
8. [The Keyless Tier](flagships/the-keyless-tier.md) with [Which Reads Stay Free Forever](flagships/which-reads-stay-free-forever.md) as its ratified policy

**Days 31–60 — the patent cluster and first revenue-adjacent content.**
9. Patent cluster complete: [hub](patent/hub.md) + [provisional](patent/file-provisional.md) / [utility](patent/file-utility.md) / [OA response](patent/oa-response.md) / [IDS](patent/ids.md)
10. Monitoring-and-deadlines cluster + the Deadline Ladder cookbook on the deterministic-clock sandbox — *not yet written*
11. Price Book v1, patent column only — *not yet written*
12. gigs.lawyer launches "On Your Terms": [Full Fee for a No](gigs/full-fee-for-a-no.md), [The Nineteen-Minute Practice](gigs/the-nineteen-minute-practice.md), [Your Conflicts, Your Ledger](gigs/your-conflicts-your-ledger.md)

**Days 61–90 — the joins the stack map demanded.**
13. Entity-lifecycle and builder-mechanics clusters — *not yet written*
14. [Eleven Products, One Journal](flagships/eleven-products-one-journal.md)
15. [The Firm Compiles Down to Twelve Resources](flagships/the-firm-compiles-down-to-twelve-resources.md)
16. [Your Client File Is One GET](flagships/your-client-file-is-one-get.md)
17. [No Filing, No Charge](flagships/no-filing-no-charge.md) — **hold**: ships the week the Meter has released on real government receipts
18. First paid-Declination press strike and Filing Latency Index v1 — event-gated, *not yet written*

Deliberately empty, per the aligned scope cut: litigation and e-discovery. No content may exist there, because a cookbook is a live-service claim.

*api.lawyer is a preview build; nothing in this index is a live-service claim, and nothing in it is legal advice.*
