## Questions, answered briefly

**What is chch.live?**

A public record of Christchurch, every council report residents have filed since 2015, the heritage register, schools, parks, tracks, the bus network, the crash record and a growing document archive, all searchable, all linked back to the sources they came from.

**What stood on this ground before?**

The question the site is built around. Start at [the address lookup](https://www.chch.live/lookup) and enter an address, then follow the address page’s “What stood on this ground” link for the heritage places, addresses and record around it.

**How fresh is the record?**

The front page’s feed refreshes from the council’s open data every ten minutes; the archive pages underneath are rebuilt daily.

**Can machines read it too?**

Yes. Most pages have a markdown twin. JSON and GeoJSON feeds live on [/data](https://www.chch.live/data), not as a file behind every URL. Crawlers and assistants are welcome. [llms.txt](https://www.chch.live/llms.txt) is the index, and the [SEO playbook](https://www.chch.live/seo-playbook.md) the site is built to is public too.
