//**PROOF OF CONCEPT** — all-states registry-burden ranking from structured per-state records. 🟢 less burden … 🔴 more; ⚪ = wiki gave no substantive answer, awaiting verification. NOT legal advice.//

====== Registry Burden Ranking — All States & Territories ======

Most burdensome at top. **Burden index** 0=least … 2=most = burden points (🔴=2, 🟠=1) ÷ all 13 rated dimensions. ⚪ cells count as 0 (no burden confirmed yet), so a high ⚪ count means the score is provisional and can only rise as those cells are verified.
