37Act Guide
A research-backed briefing loop for 37 Act reporting content
A source-backed research briefing process for 37Act content: CERL references, GASB support, public report examples, audit patterns, and buyer questions.
37Act should grow like a focused research desk and product lab, not like a generic blog. The market is small, specialized, and trust-sensitive. That makes each strong public source more valuable: a Government Code reference, a SACRS explanation, an ACFR example, an actuarial valuation report, a GASB-support pattern, a board packet, or a recurring buyer question can become both a better public page and a better product decision.
Weekly briefing checklist
- What public reports or official references changed or were newly found?
- Which 37 Act / CERL reporting workflow does the source clarify?
- What claim can be safely made from this source?
- Which public page, tool, FAQ, or county page should be updated?
- What product assumption or pilot question does this change?
- Does the wording preserve the boundary around legal, actuarial, audit, investment, and finance review?
Source-to-output rule
Every research pass should end with a durable output: an updated page, new FAQ, source note, tool improvement, product question, or content brief. If the source does not change what the site says or what the product should test, it should stay in a private research map until it does.
