Drafted with AI assistance, then checked and revised by the author. The judgements and the errors are the author’s. How this site is written sets out what is declared on every piece, who checks it, and where the per-piece record lives.
What this publication does not claim, and what is outstanding against it in the register.
A question this rests on is parked: What do we do with an application that refuses to run inside the boundary?
We do not claim that a member's existing applications can be made to run inside the boundary. We claim only that the boundary reveals which ones cannot.
What this publication rests on, and how solid each part of it is. The Sovereignty Assessment Instrument is an instrument, and this page describes it as one.
This publication cites outside sources, and they are listed below — each with what it supports, and with what it does not support. That second column is the one that matters: the common failure is not a fabricated source, it is a real source stretched past its finding.
⚠️ The list for this publication has not been recorded yet. The sources are named in the body at the point each is used; this page will carry them with their limits once the extraction is done.
