Findings
A finding is one unit of record: something a scanned source said, stored with a verbatim quote, a link to the original document, the date, and a stage label describing how final the action is.
Reading a finding
- The quote is verbatim from the source. The site's own words around it only summarize; when summary and quote differ, trust the quote.
- The stage says where the item stands — proposed, adopted, in force, and so on. The stages and their order are listed on each finding page.
- The date is the source's own date where it states one, otherwise the date the item was first seen.
What absence means
Findings only exist for what the scanned sources published. "No findings" means no action was observed in those sources — not that nothing happened anywhere. The footer of each page names what is scanned.
