State context router

Start with your state, then narrow the decision

Use this family to decide whether state context, a lab result, or a recent change should drive the next step.

Start With State Context I Already Have A Lab Result

Start here

Pick the first path, not the first article

This family should route you into the right entry flow before it turns into a flat browse list.

Best first path

I need state or home-sale context

Start here when rules, transaction timing, or local geology change what should happen first.

Alternative path

I already have a lab result

Use the engine when state context matters but you already have one result line.

Alternative path

Something changed recently

Use a recent change, flood, repair, or shift when the state context alone is not enough.

Guide layer

Use one of these pages only if the first pass was not enough

These are the reading pages worth opening after you already know which branch or question still matters.

Before you open more guides

What this family should stop you from doing

The family layer is supposed to reduce browsing drift, not expand it. Use these checks to decide whether you still need the reading layer at all.

Common mistake

What people get wrong first in this family

Assuming a national answer fits local geology or state process.

Ignoring state lab pathways and sale or inspection context.

Swapping a state name into a generic answer without changing the next step.

Before more reading

Three checks before you open the longer guide layer

Confirm the state or geology context actually changes the next action.

Check whether the page points to state labs, rules, or risk patterns.

Use the tool with your state context once you know what local factor matters.

Longer reading layer

Browse the full family only when the router still left a real question

Each page should explain what the clue means, what to verify next, and when not to buy yet.
