Documents, not posts

Two questions this trade answers badly

Both of the pages below started as a search result that annoyed us. Somebody asks a plain question about their own home, and what comes back is written for a different reader.

Ask who pays for water damage in a Florida condominium and every answer on the first page of results is a law firm. They are accurate and they are not much use at four in the afternoon with a ceiling coming down, because they are written to end in a phone call to a lawyer rather than in a decision about the next hour.

Ask what a mold job in this state costs and the results run the other way. Averages assembled from unnamed contractors in unnamed states, no method attached, nobody standing behind the figure. The one thing that would actually help, which is knowing what moves the number, is missing from all of them.

So these two are built from the documents themselves. Every statutory phrase quoted is linked where it is quoted, every dollar figure comes from a named publisher, and each page carries the date the source was read and a list of what could not be verified. Neither is legal advice, and both say so at the point where they stop being useful.

Why there are two of these and not twenty

A page is worth writing when we can answer the question better than what is already there. That test is harder than it sounds, and it rules out most subjects. The two above passed it because the documents behind them are public, specific to this state, and almost never quoted directly by anybody ranking for the question.

There is no publishing schedule here and no archive to scroll. A third guide will appear when there is a third question we can answer from a source rather than from an opinion, and the obvious candidate is what a Florida homeowner's policy does and does not do with a water claim.

The work these pages describe is on the services hub, and the towns around this one have their own pages under service areas.
