Cited to the statute, or we don't draft it.
Every requirement in a document we produce is quoted from the provision that imposes it. Where we can't tie a requirement to a provision, we don't guess and we don't sell — we tell you which state, which requirement, and why.

What "cited" actually means
Most document generators ask what you want and print it. The hard part isn't the printing — it's knowing what your state requires for the document to work. So every formality we apply carries its source, and you can read all of it before paying:
Tex. Est. Code § 751.0021(a)
"…signed by the principal or in the principal's conscious presence… and acknowledged before an officer authorized to take acknowledgments."
If a state requires two witnesses, the document has two witness blocks and names the section that requires them. If it requires none, there are none — we don't add a notary block "to be safe", because a document carrying formalities the statute doesn't impose invites the question of what else in it was guessed.
Why we refuse 2 states
AZ, ME are refused. In each, the statute prescribes attestation wording the corpus does not hold, and the independent verification pass did not confirm the formalities. A power of attorney with the right number of signatures in the wrong statutory form is still defective — and it fails at exactly the moment it's needed, at a bank counter or a hospital, for someone who can no longer sign a new one.
We'd rather lose the sale. You can still read everything we hold for those states, free, and take it to an attorney licensed there.
CA, NV are draftable but not sold. Those states regulate non-attorney document preparation directly and we have not completed the registration, so checkout is declined there before any charge. That is a limitation on us, not on you; nothing here suggests you cannot make a power of attorney in either state.
How the rules get checked
Researched against primary sources
State codes and administrative rules — not summaries, not law-firm blog posts. Those can locate a provision; they're never authority for one.
Then adversarially re-read
Each state is independently re-checked by a second automated pass asked to disprove the first, answering one question: would a document executed to exactly these formalities be executed as the statute prescribes? 2 of 51 failed that check and are refused because of it.

Three steps, all of them messages
- Send what already happens. Text or email a photo of the worksheet, the project, the museum ticket. No app, no form, no login — starting is a message, not a signup. The system reads it and files it against your state's standards.
- Confirm by reply. You get a short numbered list and reply
Y,N, or per item. Wrong minutes or wrong subject? ReplyFIX 2 45morFIX 2 science— the original reading stays in the record beside your correction. Nothing counts toward a filing until you say so. - Ask for the filing, then pay. Text
PORTFOLIO. If your records are ready you are quoted $150 and sent a checkout link; the document arrives as a private link when payment clears. If they are not ready, you are told exactly what is missing and charged nothing.
The filing is compiled from records you already keep. 33 of 51 jurisdictions are served; 18 are locked — because the record has not been audited, because the audit found a material error of law in the corpus itself, or because courts disagree about whether the route to home education is lawful at all. A deadline the state leaves to your district is reported on the filing as a limit; it does not lock the state. Every requirement on the filing carries its citation, and each documented activity is traced to the requirement it goes toward.
Two things the filing will not do. It does not submit anything to your state — it is prepared for you to file, and you file it. And where your state's record lists contents a filing must include, those are printed on the document verbatim, each marked with whether this document contains it; an item nobody has reviewed against the document reads NOT ASSESSED and the filing says so on its face rather than looking complete.
Every filing carries the identifiers of the exact statutory record, audit, standards index and engine build it was produced from, so the same document can be regenerated later and checked against the rules it actually used.
