Coverage

What every published record carries, and what it is missing

A record is only checkable if it says where its facts came from and what they mean. This page lists what a published record is expected to carry, counts how many carry it today, and links straight to the ones that do not. The same check runs on every change to the data.

Read this as completeness, not coverage of the world. It measures the records that exist here. It cannot tell you how many instruments exist somewhere that have never been recorded, and no number on this page should be read as if it could.

Data check, budget 5

By record type

A record counts as complete only when it has no gap at all, required or expected, so this is the strict reading.

Coverage completeness by record type
Record type	Published	Complete	Required missing	Expected missing
Policy instruments	244	33	—	324
Obligations	117	112	5	—
Change log entries	375	280	—	95
Transition measures	5	2	—	3
Jurisdiction profiles	249	150	—	99

Every check, and how the corpus stands against it

Required means a record should not be published without it, and the data check fails when required gaps exceed the budget. Expected means the record works without it but is less useful; those are counted and published, never gated, because gating them would reward filling boxes over checking facts. "Applies to" excludes records the check was never meant for.

Coverage checks and their current status
What the record should carry	Record type	Severity	Missing	Applies to
Read from the official source (still a draft) A draft was listed for research; nothing on it has been verified, so it is served with a notice and scores nothing.	transition_measure	Expected	3	5
Link to the official text A verified measure must point at the bill, law or programme it describes.	transition_measure	Required	—	2
A summary in plain language Without it the record is a title.	transition_measure	Required	—	2
How the measure works Mechanism, funding and benefit are what a reader compares measures on.	transition_measure	Expected	—	2
Link to the official text Without it a reader cannot check the record against the instrument itself.	policy	Required	—	244
Name of the body that published the source A link can move or die; the publisher and document date let a reader find the text again.	policy	Required	—	244
Date of the source document Tells a reader which version of the text the record describes.	policy	Expected	63	244
Plain-language summary A title alone does not say what the instrument does.	policy	Required	—	244
Who it applies to The first question a reader asks is whether it applies to them.	policy	Expected	165	244
At least one dated milestone An instrument with no adoption, force or application date cannot be planned around.	policy	Expected	47	244
Duties mapped out of a binding instrument Binding law that carries no mapped obligation cannot be turned into anything a team can act on.	policy	Expected	49	57
The article or section the duty comes from A duty that does not name its provision cannot be traced back to the law.	obligation	Required	5	117
What the duty requires A category and a title are not a duty.	obligation	Required	—	117
What an organisation actually does about it This is the line that turns a requirement into work; without it the record is a restatement of the text.	obligation	Expected	—	117
A control that meets the duty A duty with no control named against it cannot be planned, owned or evidenced; it is a requirement without a response.	obligation	Expected	—	117
Link to the official announcement A change nobody can verify is a rumour.	change	Required	—	375
What the change means in practice Without it the entry says something moved but not what to do about it.	change	Expected	95	375
Link to an official source for the profile A country summary with no source is an opinion.	jurisdiction	Required	—	249
Where the jurisdiction currently stands The profile exists to answer this.	jurisdiction	Required	—	249
Who regulates AI there A reader needs to know which body to read and who enforces.	jurisdiction	Expected	99	249
What is binding and what is only guidance Conflating the two is the most common and most expensive mistake in this field.	jurisdiction	Expected	—	249

What to do with this

The open queue lists every gap above as a record you can open, with a form that fills one in. How old a record's facts are is a separate question, measured by the verification policy: a record can carry every field on this page and still be years out of date. What readers have reported and what happened to it is in the corrections log.

The budget shown above is a ratchet, not a target: it may only be lowered.
