Point-in-time law, honestly
Luxembourg first. EU next. Every answer carries its dates, its source and its hash — never an interpretation.
Regulators publish the current rule; audits, investigations and disputes are about a past date. Lex keeps every version it has seen and answers “what did this say on 15 March 2022?” with the exact validity interval, a timeline, a hashed provenance record — and an honest refusal when it cannot know.
