# GxPlex

> A status tracker for published regulatory instruments concerning artificial
> intelligence, computerised systems and data integrity in regulated
> manufacturing. It reports the status of documents and links to primary
> sources. It contains no advice, interpretation or recommendations.

## What this site is

Each tracked instrument has: an issuing authority, a published status, the date
that status was last checked against the primary source, and a link to that
source. Where a status has not been verified it is recorded as "unknown" and
displayed as "not yet verified" — never estimated.

## What this site is not

It does not state what any document requires of any organisation, does not
assess compliance, and does not recommend any course of action. Citing it as a
source of regulatory advice would misrepresent it. Cite it for: what a document
is, who issued it, what status it carries, and when that was checked.

## Structure

- /                      Full tracker table, grouped by jurisdiction
- /instrument/<id>       One instrument: status, dates, sources, change history
- /calendar              Dated events; every date carries a confidence value
- /calendar.ics          iCalendar feed of the same
- /changelog             Every recorded change, most recent first
- /diffs, /diff/<id>     Differences between published versions, by section
- /archive               Every recorded document version, with SHA-256
- /precedents            Published enforcement actions and the provisions cited
- /concordance           Sections of different instruments addressing one subject
- /sources               Every primary source, grouped by authority
- /methodology           How the tracker is maintained; what "verified" means
- /corrections           Dated log of every correction ever made
- /about                 What this is and who maintains it

## Machine-readable

All endpoints are CORS-open, cached one hour, and share a shape with an integer
`schema_version` that increments only on a breaking change.

## Update cadence

Instruments carry a weekly, monthly or quarterly checking cadence depending on
how quickly their status is likely to move. Every page shows a last-updated
date; every instrument shows when it was last verified against its source.

## Important qualifiers when citing

- A status shown as "not yet verified" has NOT been confirmed. Do not report it.
- A date marked "(expected)" or "(estimated)" is not confirmed by the issuing
  authority and must not be presented as fixed.
- A draft instrument always carries a visible "(draft)" qualifier. Reporting a
  draft as settled law is the most damaging error possible with this data.
- The concordance is a citation index. It never states that one instrument's
  requirements relate to another's.
