Content Statistics & Editorial Dashboard
A public, real-time view of what Maine Dispensary Guide publishes. The numbers below are computed from the source tree at build time, not curated by hand.
Maine Dispensary Guide is a serious editorial property covering Maine's cannabis business landscape. We publish city guides for every town with a licensed dispensary, technical guides for the regulatory and operational questions operators face, and blog posts on topics from home cultivation to policy to cannabis science.
This page documents the work, in numbers, with no spin. The page count, word count, byline distribution, and recent-update feed are all computed from the source tree on every build. The numbers you see reflect the most recent commit to the main branch.

Editorial team
All content carries a named byline. No ghostwriting, no AI-only content, no unattributed reposts. The byline count below is the number of pages each author has written or co-written.
Editorial standards
publishDate and modifiedDate in the source. Every content page has a named byline. Every blog post has a 5-7 question FAQ with primary-source answers. Every guide cross-links to at least three other pages in the same pillar. Sitemap and JSON-LD are validated on every build. If you spot a page that doesn't meet these standards, it's a bug, not a feature — let us know.
What changed recently
The 10 most recently updated pages, sorted by modifiedDate. The full site is updated continuously as OCP rules change, as new municipal opt-ins are filed, and as the editorial team adds new content.

How these numbers are computed
This page reads the source tree at build time. Page count and word count are derived from the actual .astro files in apps/maine-cannabis/src/pages/; hero-image count is derived from public/images/heroes/; byline counts are derived from the author: field in each page's frontmatter. There is no manual curation, no separate spreadsheet, and no quarterly audit. The numbers refresh on every deploy. If you find a discrepancy, the source tree is the source of truth — not this page, and not the editorial team's recollection.
