+- HTML / CSS / JavaScript (no build step required)
+- [Tailwind CSS](https://tailwindcss.com/) via Play CDN
+- [Leaflet.js](https://leafletjs.com/) for interactive maps via CDN
+- Mock data (hardcoded — not yet connected to APIs or databases)
+
+## Next Steps
+- Replace mock data with real, verified state regulation data
+- Connect to backend APIs and a database
+- Add user accounts, authentication, and profiles
+- Integrate payment processing for subscriptions
+- Deploy to a web hosting service (Vercel, Netlify, or similar)
