Resolution

Index

$COYOTE Coyote run-ins reported in Chicago. Rulebook v0.2, 2026-10-04.

Prints

Monthly. 311 posts reports within a day; a month prints three days after it ends. The newest complete month is on the record after the daily proof at 12:40 UTC.

As first published

Oct 2026 is not timestamped yet. The daily proof at 12:40 UTC adds it.

The number as first published is final for settlement. A revision by the source is shown beside it and never replaces it.

Fallback

A month prints three days after it ends. If 311 posts nothing for the month, it stays open. A month 311 never posts is void.

Precision

Whole reports with service code CIAC, by created date, Chicago time as the city records it.

Cost to move

Cheap in small numbers. A report is a phone call or a web form.

Grade

display. Reports, not coyotes: one animal seen by a whole block can bring many reports. Shown, not settled on.
