Evidence ladder#

What this record holds for this entry, rung by rung, each mark derived from a field, a count or a stored reading. Rungs in the order the record acquires them, from what an entry is to what has been checked about it. The order is fixed; a rung’s position says nothing about any entry.

✓ held — this record holds it, and the sentence beside it names what from · — nothing held — no reading of this rung is recorded — nobody has looked, which is not the same as looking and finding nothing · △ held in part — part of it is held, or it is held under a limit the sentence states · ✗ read, and not there — a reading ran and did not find it — an absence this record measured

The first rung a reading ran on and did not find: verification — A check is asserted on this row and the verification log does not corroborate it, so no check is counted for this entry.

Coverage contract#

Each term states what this record does for this entry and what it does not, derived from the entry’s own fields and its own series. It is a record of coverage, not a finding about the document.

Observed cadence how often this record has reached this entry’s address: Every interval between consecutive days holding an observation is 1 day. The term this record declares for the entry is “weekly”.
Text: public, and retained whether the publisher’s text is public, and whether prose from it is kept here: The publisher’s text is freely reproducible. Prose is retained from the retrieved bytes, so a quotation can be checked against it.
Hash what is digested for this entry, and of what: 105 of 109 record(s) classified as being of the document this entry names carry a digest of the retrieved bytes.
Status verification which check this record undertakes for the published status, and which it holds: This entry’s label asks for a person’s check. No check of either kind is recorded for this entry.
Lifecycle tracked which lifecycle facts this record follows for this entry: This record follows no lifecycle fact for this entry: no effective date, no dated event, no archived version, no publisher stage record and no detected revision is held. That is what has been recorded here, not a reading of what exists. 36 of 132 tracked entries carry at least one such fact.
Known limits the limits this entry’s own record declares: None of the 8 limits this record can record is set on this entry. That is an absence of declared limits, and not a finding that the entry has none.

Why this entry is tracked#

The test an entry is admitted under is published in full, with its negative limb and its worked examples, at the inclusion rule. What this record holds about THIS entry's admission is below, each line naming the store it was read from.

Inclusion-rule limb which of the four limbs was applied: — No field in this record names which limb an entry satisfies, so none is stated for this one. Membership was closed as a human judgment on 2026-08-11, and the four-limb test is applied by a person rather than by code. This entry’s own stated subject is not read as a limb: a title word standing in for a rule would be a classification this record authored.
Admission entry the dated act that added this entry: — No admission entry is recorded for this entry. 21 of 132 tracked entries carry one, so an absence here is ordinary rather than a gap peculiar to this entry.
Declared tier-1 list a recorded judgement that this belongs: This entry is not a member of the declared tier-1 list. That list names 37 identifiers, of which 35 resolve to one of the 132 tracked entries, so most of the corpus sits outside it and non-membership says nothing about this entry on its own.
Admissions boundary the jurisdictions this record adds from: This entry’s jurisdiction is International. It is inside the admissions boundary ruled on 2026-08-16, which names 4 jurisdictions — EU · US · UK · International — and which is one of the two admission tests this record enforces in code. The other is that a candidate carry the publisher’s own address: a mention is not a citation.

Filed core. For that label this archive undertakes to put an entry's status to a person. The label records what this archive undertakes for a class of entries. It states no finding about this one, and it is not a ranking.

Resolution: direct document · no document resolved

What this archive can and cannot establish about this entry. The concept paper's own PDF was located on 2026-07-31 and now carries the hash, replacing the EudraLex consultation-documents listing this entry was announced from, which has since gone dead. The document carries its own reference and date and states a consultation window of 9 February to 9 April 2026; it does not state a status in words, and none is read from it until a person confirms one.

observation.url addresses the single observation this citation rests on.

Every observation of this document is addressed and separately citable at the observation series.

Observation history#

Observed on 109 occasion(s) since 2026-07-31. 105 produced a content hash. No change to the retrieved text has been detected since observation began.

×××··························×···············································································

All 109 marks, one per observation, oldest first. · unchanged · ! content changed · ~ fetched but rendered client-side, no hash · × could not be fetched, no hash.

Every one of the 50 days from 2026-07-31 to 2026-09-18 holds an observation.

Each mark links to the single observation it stands for, at that observation’s own address. The whole series, with every address, is at /observations/ema-pics-annex15-concept. Any two of its retained observations can be set side by side at /compare/ema-pics-annex15-concept. The same evidence as a packet, with its refusals and its integrity reference, is at /packet/ema-pics-annex15-concept.

Every observation in this series is published, untruncated, at /api/v1/observations.json.

How this series is recorded

Recorded: observations: 109 · carrying a digest: 105 · changes detected: 0 · first observed: 2026-07-31
Method: resolution: direct document · watch cadence: weekly · last fetch method: direct
Evidence: The most recent record is addressed at 2026-09-18·1.
Published at: /observations/ema-pics-annex15-concept — every record of this row, with its address. /api/v1/series.jsonl — the same records for every row, one line each. Each observation is addressed by this row’s identifier, the date it was observed, and its sequence within that date — the same key /api/v1/series.jsonl publishes as `sequence`, counted in the order the store recorded them.

Source health#

Counts and dates over a stated window. No figure here is a mark out of a hundred, no cell is ordered against another, and none of it is a statement about the publisher: a day this record did not reach is a fact about this record’s reach.

Fetch outcomes how the requests in the window answered: 105 of 109 fetch records in the 90 calendar days ending 2026-09-18 carry no error. The 4 that carry one are recorded under blocked ×4.
Last fetched the most recent record in the whole series: 2026-09-18 — the latest day this record holds (2026-09-18). The method recorded is direct. What that record returned is in Observation history above.
Address stability where the requests actually landed: 95 record(s) in the window recorded the address that answered, across 1 distinct address(es). 14 further record(s) carry no answered address and say nothing either way. The most recent answered address is the one this entry declares.
Access posture what the publisher declares, and what the requests met: Declared: no AI-specific disallow · crawlable yes · renders server-side. Met: 4 of 109 record(s) in the window were recorded as refused. A refusal is what one request of this record met on one day; it is not a policy the publisher stated.
Expected and observed cadence the declared term, the days held, and the days holding none: The term this record declares for this entry is weekly. Over its own window, 2026-07-31 to 2026-09-18, 50 of 50 calendar days hold at least one observation. None holds none. Every interval between consecutive days holding one is 1, counted in days. Both figures are stated and the difference between them is not adjudicated here.

Neighbourhood#

What sits around this entry, counted. Every figure below is drawn from a value already rendered elsewhere on this page; where a count has a list, the count is here and the list stays in the section holding its evidence.

The direct document, and the activity around it what this record’s observations of the document recorded inside a stated window, beside the official signals dated inside the same one

Each row is a window of calendar days ending 2026-09-18, the day the source-health block above counts its own window to. Every column between the window and the official signals is drawn from the 109 observation(s) of the document this entry holds in total. An observation is counted here only where the class projection places it on the document this entry names.
Window	Observations of the document	Of those, carrying a digest	Direct document	Official signals dated inside it
30 calendar days	45	45	no change in window	0 of 0
90 calendar days	109	105	no change in window	0 of 0
365 calendar days	109	105	no change in window	0 of 0

A window is marked changed where at least one observation of the document inside it recorded a change against the previous one; unchanged where the window holds at least one such observation, at least one of them carries a digest of the retrieved bytes, and none recorded a change; undigested where the window holds observations and none of them carries a digest, so no observation in it could be compared with another; and unmeasured where the window holds no observation at all. The word is shorthand for the three counts printed beside it and adds nothing to them. It is a statement about the window and never about the document outside it, which is why a window reaching back before the first observation says so underneath. A mark is derived from the observations a window holds and never from the days it spans; which days inside this entry’s own window hold none is stated by the coverage sentence in Observation history above.

The first observation of the document this entry names is 2026-07-31. These windows reach back before it — 90 calendar days · 365 calendar days — so part of the span each names was never watched, and a window with no change inside it says nothing about the days before that first observation.

no change in window — this window holds observations of the document and none of them recorded a change — which is a statement about the window, not about the document outside it

No word is attached to the signal count beside it, and none will be. Any word for the size of a count needs either a threshold this record would have authored or a comparison against other entries that would rank the sources against one another; the count and its window are the whole claim. The document column beside it carries a word only because the rule reaching it is printed underneath and can be checked against the counts it stands for.

The last column holds no member on this entry. The zero it holds is named under “Around it” below.

Around it official signals naming this entry, by the class their publisher stated

— The signal store holds no record for any entry, so nothing here is an absence measured on this one. The store’s own state is no source attempted, and what that state means for every count drawn from the store is stated at the signals index.

Related sources other entries reachable from this one by a relation a publisher states

— This record publishes no relation from or to this entry. A relation is published only where a publisher states it, so this is the absence of a statement this record has read and not a claim that none exists.

Related standards which of those entries call themselves a standard, in their own publisher’s word

— No published relation from this entry reaches an entry this record tracks, so there is nothing to place on this axis. That is a statement about what this record can read, not about what exists.

Topics the controlled identifiers this entry carries, and the voice each one is in

— This entry carries no topic identifier: its own record names no topic, and no subject term this archive matched is stated about it.

Before, now and next where the record’s day sits among the publisher-dated facts this entry holds

— This entry holds no publisher-dated lifecycle fact, so no position can be derived. What is absent is a dated statement this record has read.

Next holds the publisher-dated facts this record already carries that fall after the day this record calls today — a stated effective date, a consultation close. Nothing is projected and no step is inferred from a lifecycle: where a publisher has stated no further date, the cell says so, and what is absent is a statement rather than a future.

Subject and class (as stated)

The words this document uses about itself, matched verbatim against its own title. Not a statement of scope, and not a judgment about which organisations or products fall under it: each value quotes the span it was read from and links to where that span was read.
