The automated route plan

What the plan is

You supply your case — origin, species, the dates already behind you, your intended travel window. The encoded rules are evaluated against it and produce a dated readiness plan: which requirements you already satisfy, which you do not, what has to happen in which order, and the earliest date the rules permit you to travel.

Every derived date carries its arithmetic: which claim produced it, which event it counts from, how many days, and whether the count includes the starting day. A date you cannot audit is a date you cannot defend to a veterinarian or an official.

The plan is a snapshot. It records the exact claim versions it was generated from, so when a rule changes later you can see whether the change affects you.

What you need to hand

Three dates, and none of them has to be certain:

• the date the RNATT blood was drawn,
• the date that sample reached the laboratory — this is what the 180 days counts from, not the draw date and not the result,
• the date you intend to travel.

Leave any of them blank and the plan works out what it can, then tells you which dates it could not place and why. Every question about your pet offers “Not sure”, and an unknown stays unknown: it never resolves in your favour.

What the plan refuses to do

• It will not produce a plan for a case outside the supported scope.
• It will not guess a missing fact. An unknown date produces an “insufficient information” state, never an assumption in your favour.
• It will not decide anything the rules were not validated for — unusual routings, contested breed determinations, or cases where sources conflict get an explicit “external confirmation required” and the authority to ask.
• It does not book anything and does not contact any authority on your behalf.

What it does not model, and why that matters

The rule bundle screens the decisions that change a move: the hard stops, identification, rabies validity, the 10-versus-30-day quarantine question, origin-specific sequencing, and which certificate form is the right one. It does not encode every requirement described on the corridor pages.

Anything it does not model is absent from your plan rather than marked as satisfied. That distinction is the whole point. A plan that quietly implied everything else was fine would be worse than no plan, because you would stop looking.

So: read your corridor pages and your guide alongside the plan, not instead of them. And where your import permit differs from anything the plan says, the permit governs — it sets out the conditions that actually apply to your animal.

What it costs

$19 USD, one payment, for one pet’s move. No subscription, no account, and no upsell: the plan you generate is the whole product.

If you are new here, the six corridor guides are usually the better first purchase — the plan works from dates you may not have settled yet, and the free finder already tells you whether your move is in scope and what would stop it.

How it was built, and in what order

Verified claims first, then rules encoded from those claims, then tests, then a validated bundle — and only then the tool. Every rule in the bundle names the claims it came from, and the test suite checks that each of those claims exists, has been verified, and is scoped to the species and country the rule applies to. A rule justified by the wrong species’ claim fails the build, which is the machine-checkable form of an error this site has already made once.
