# PolicyEngine Atlas

AI-powered navigation system for America's safety net: mapping policy documents and revealing hidden eligibility pathways.

## Overview

PolicyEngine Atlas addresses a critical infrastructure failure: benefit program documents disappear constantly while their connections remain hidden. This system monitors 50+ jurisdictions, capturing statutes, regulations, and forms before they vanish, while our knowledge graph reveals how programs interact—like how TANF enables SNAP which enables Lifeline.

**Live Application**: https://policyengine.github.io/policy-library/

## Features

- **AI-Powered Document Crawling**: Claude/GPT-4 powered intelligent extraction
- **Permanent Archive**: Version-controlled documents with stable source IDs
