How this library was assembled
The inventory used 49 search queries with no publication-date cutoff. Researchers opened or attempted 149 URLs and consolidated 12 alternate versions into 137 distinct source records. Sources span government agencies, law and accounting firms, benefits consultants, trade media, vendors and academic publications.
This is a documented discovery inventory, not an exhaustive statement of law or an endorsement list. Search engines, indexing gaps, inaccessible LinkedIn pages, paywalls, missing dates and partial PDF retrieval limit coverage. Access labels describe the material obtained on the retrieval date.
