The Albuquerque proof point
ZoneSheet ran a full extraction against a 672-page City of Albuquerque, NM zoning ordinance and returned a fully populated, verbatim-cited R-1 zoning row: setbacks, height, FAR, lot coverage, uses, and fees, every value traceable to its source line, with zero hallucinated values.[3] That is the kind of document a pre-built database has no reason to have loaded, and the kind of result ZoneSheet is built to produce from any PDF you send it.
