# Missouri scope and open decisions

Planning status: **proposed**. First research cohort: **selection-pending**. No cohort has been selected in this record. Jackson is a discovery example, not an approved cohort.

[Canonical research records](/stormtrust-data/missouri/research.json) own these values. Candidate and deferred decisions are proposals, not release commitments.

## Capabilities

| ID              | Decision  | User outcome                                                                        | Required layers   | Acceptance evidence                                                                                   |
| --------------- | --------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| parcel-research | candidate | Locate parcel geometry and interpret source attributes with provenance.             | parcel-boundaries | Approved source, native identifier semantics, mapping, validated release, and source/vintage display. |
| parcel-delivery | deferred  | Deliver versioned parcel data through an API, downloads, tiles, or GIS integration. | parcel-boundaries | Choose and independently verify each delivery interface; no interface is implemented by this record.  |

## Record families

| Layer ID                | Decision  | Meaning                                                                                              |
| ----------------------- | --------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| parcel-boundaries       | candidate | Publisher parcel geometry with documented native identifiers; first source-review focus.             |
| assessment-attributes   | candidate | Assessment fields with native units, codes, null semantics, and linkage to parcels.                  |
| recorded-transfers      | deferred  | Recorded transfer records with an explicit instrument and parcel linkage contract.                   |
| addresses               | candidate | Address records and their match basis; not interchangeable with parcel identifiers.                  |
| zoning-permits-overlays | deferred  | Separate zoning, permit, and contextual record families require individual contracts before release. |

The deferred zoning, permit, and overlay grouping is a planning category. Split it into independent layer contracts before source onboarding. A successful parcel review does not establish any other layer.

## Open decisions

### gap-missouri-cohort

Which jurisdictions and required layers belong in the first research cohort?

Subject: missouri. Status: open. Responsible role: product-owner. Assigned owner: Unassigned.

Next action: Record jurisdiction IDs, layer priorities, and a decision reference before claiming a selected cohort.

### gap-jackson-access

What acquisition and reuse are supported for the intended parcel capability?

Subject: candidate-jackson-parcels. Status: open. Responsible role: data-steward. Assigned owner: Unassigned.

Next action: Review official metadata and terms; prepare a scoped request if needed without submitting it.

### gap-missouri-acceptance

What schema, quality tolerances, freshness policy, and responsible people govern a first release?

Subject: missouri. Status: open. Responsible role: data-steward. Assigned owner: Unassigned.

Next action: Agree a versioned parcel contract after native-source review; retain unresolved values.

Use the [task and gap templates](/stormtrust/product/platform-and-data/missouri/task-packets/) to retain findings. Select people for the roles before relying on escalation. No monitoring or notification schedule is configured by these records.
