A living map of Michigan compliance.
Every FOIA exemption, every OMA notice rule, every retention schedule, modeled as a node, sourced to MCL, versioned across history. When the AG updates the law, the cascade runs the same day.
Last graph update: 2026-07-12, citations re-verified at the source. The cascade refreshes templates, deadlines, and citations across every customer.
FIG. 1The cascade in motion: statutes flow through 18 graph nodes into templates, deadlines, citations, and calendars.
Compliance software treats the law like a checklist. The law is a graph.
A FOIA deadline depends on a request type. The request type triggers an exemption library. The exemption library cites a statute. The statute determines a fee schedule. Change one node and everything downstream needs to know. That is the Compliance Graph.
Eighteen nodes today. Each one sourced to MCL.

The cascade runs the same day.
The Michigan AG publishes an updated OMA Handbook. Our compliance team proposes node changes. We approve them. The cascade fires. Every customer's templates, deadlines, citations, and calendars update.
You do not attend a seminar. You do not call your attorney. You open Dekree tomorrow and you are running the new rules.
