Rfi
Rfi is one of Demiton's published registers for Australian civil construction. Requests for information, with status, response and cost or schedule impact. Demiton keeps it current from the systems a contractor already runs and publishes the record's shape as a versioned JSON Schema, so the same question works whichever system produced the record.
