The full claim-level official registry remains `sources/registry.md`. The notebook is intentionally smaller than that registry so its generated summaries are less likely to flatten the distinction between core rules and edge cases.

## Audit prompt used

> Act as a strict curriculum auditor. Based only on the selected sources, design a 75-minute California CSLB Law and Business masterclass aligned to the official seven domain weights. Return: (1) a time-coded module outline, (2) the smallest set of must-teach rules and number triggers, (3) the most dangerous confusions and conditional exceptions, (4) the claims in the two PaintThinnerGang videos that should be corrected or omitted, and (5) five original scenario patterns for retrieval practice without reproducing actual exam questions. Do not invent a passing score, item count, or guarantee that a topic will appear.

## What the notebook contributed

- It independently prioritized minor-work conditions, qualifier duties, the down-payment cap, cancellation, bond-versus-insurance, workers' compensation exceptions, lien releases, public-works thresholds, and the eight-hour Cal/OSHA limit.
- It reproduced the key PaintThinnerGang corrections: strictly less than $1,000, age 65, the July 2026 citation minimum, Class A scope, and UST/septic separation.
- It proposed useful scenario patterns for retrieval practice.

## What was rejected or repaired

- The generated timecodes compressed 75 minutes into about seven minutes. The production clock was rebuilt manually as `10 / 11 / 15 / 9 / 16 / 4 / 10`.
- Its public-works shorthand omitted the separate $15,000 maintenance-registration threshold. The course teaches the complete `$25,000 construction / $15,000 maintenance / $1,000 prevailing-wage` ladder. [S20]
- It described the minor-work price boundary as “$999.99 or lower.” The course uses the legally cleaner wording **less than $1,000** because the statute controls the aggregate price, not a teaching example. [S12]
- Its scenarios were treated as prompts for original rewriting, not copied as finished course items.

## Maintenance rule

NotebookLM is a synthesis and audit surface. It is not a legal authority. Before a new edition, refresh the official sources, rerun the audit prompt, and resolve every conflict in favor of the current source registry.
