From official material to a working record
Official material sets the basis
Official California material describes the operational duties and processes relevant to DROP.
The tool prepares the operational record
The preflight converts recorded operating facts into a control-by-control evidence and action record without connecting to DROP.
Official sources stay visible
Each supported check shows its jurisdiction, source title, source version and review date beside the result. Unsupported cases are rejected rather than estimated.

Enter organization, reference, accountable reviewer and requested draft or final status; customer-confirmed data broker and operation status, start date, account/access method and last actual access; each authored DROP control answer, original evidence pointer, test record and owned dated correction where missing.
