Phase 19 county enrichment + verified-deltas feed

On May 23, 2026, ProFix Directory shipped a data milestone in the public newsroom changelog. This is the canonical permalink for the change — the same record the newsroom index, the JSON feed at /api/changelog.json, the RSS feed at /api/newsroom.rss, and the iCal feed at /api/changelog.ics all point back to.

What changed in context

Data milestones grow the open footprint — more counties enriched, more public feeds shipped, more bilingual parity. The underlying dataset is published CC-BY-4.0 on Hugging Face so partners and AI engines can pull the freshest snapshot without scraping.

ProFix Directory is an Ohio home-services directory with a transparency commitment — every claim sourced, every signal scored, every dataset open. The newsroom changelog is the public record of how that commitment moves week to week: research articles that audit the trust signals, feature ships that put those signals in homeowner hands, data expansions that widen the open footprint, API surfaces that make the directory legible to AI engines and partners, and design passes that keep the voice statewide and bilingual.
