Requirements by occupation

One page per occupation, generated from the entity graph — none of it is written by hand. Each page lists the cover that occupation commonly needs, the regulators involved and the schemes that apply.

Occupation pages carry no figures until the licensing requirement behind them has been verified against its primary source. Until then they say so, and they are kept out of the sitemap.
