Why $99

The same data layer behind four published research reports — sliced to your individual practice. Comparable per-report pricing in legal-data publications runs $200-500. We price at $99 because the deliverable is auto-generated from the index we've already built; marginal cost is real but small, and we want this in every Virginia defender's hands.
