Verification catch: two size superlatives were overstated

Building the comparison pages meant checking claims that span cities rather than sit inside one, and two of our own did not survive the check. We had described Boulder's 800 sq ft detached cap as the tightest in our Colorado corpus — but Aurora's flat 650 sq ft cap and Arvada's 600 sq ft smallest-lot tier are both lower, so Boulder's page now says 'among the tightest' and names the two cities that go further. We had also called Lakewood's 1,400 sq ft the most generous cap on the Front Range; it is the most generous flat cap, but Thornton's formula — the greater of 1,000 sq ft or 50% of the home's floor area — can exceed it on a large house. Both pages and the statewide answer now say so. Colorado Springs' 16 ft detached height cap was checked the same way and stands as the strictest in the corpus.

This entry records a mistake we made and fixed. Corrections stay published rather than being edited away — a changelog you can only read forwards isn’t evidence of anything. How we verify: methodology.
