* Citizens see plain-English, repeated messaging that makes the supplemental role crystal clear from the first second. | |||

* Trust is reinforced: Dynamic verification details in the footer show real-time quality (timestamp + confidence score), while the Cargo backend allows easy auditing and reporting on freshness and accuracy across thousands of pages. | |||
