Enterprise Use Case
Given a plant name and ship-to jurisdiction, return a conservative regulation signal for commercial sales, catalog review, or fulfillment.Access Model

Pricing, quotas, support, and renewal terms are handled by quote, invoice, payment link, or agreement. Self-serve billing may be added later. API terms apply.Designed for e-commerce compliance workflows
The endpoint is intentionally conservative. It reports whether a matched species has a regulation record in the requested destination jurisdiction, helping teams flag products for review before they are sold or shipped.
It does not say a plant is legally allowed, banned, or prohibited to buy. If a common name is ambiguous or misspelled beyond a safe threshold, the service asks the user to choose from suggested species before returning a regulatory result.
