Words to Data is a Rust-based system that builds versioned, evidence-linked databases of the U.S. Code and amending public laws, enabling agents to answer legal questions with quotable provenance. It combines rule-based matching of bill markup to changes in the Code, a CLI for querying, and an agent playbook, with strong emphasis on transparency and verifiability.
