Check notes: Candidate pack passage, model cards compared (research/model-cards-3). The quotation (26 words) matched the card’s text retrieved for the candidate pack on 2026-11-05 (SHA-256 82947a46fc2d1b9a1d69501ef973fc3c5b328b703b9a17bd8a143c2672f8a1a6) and again on 2026-11-05, after the adjudication, in a fresh retrieval with the same SHA-256. Matching ignored differences of whitespace, case, quotation marks, dashes, PDF line-break hyphens and Unicode compatibility forms, so the source’s typography can differ. The pack was prepared by a model of the GPT family (Codex) and checked by a Claude model. No human editorial review.

Status and meaning

Editorial status. Machine-checked. Machines found this record and checked it against its sources; no person accepted it individually. Each evidence record above shows how it was checked.

Relation. An exact framework edition, or another document with an exact expression, states one provision: a capability threshold or risk level and its trigger, a required safeguard or action, a decision authority (who decides, recommends, can overrule or is informed), a stated exception, or another statement of its content, such as a licence term or a prospectus statement. The passage records what the document says, not implementation, compliance or effectiveness. Provisions with the same key align across editions of one family.

Date. The card prints no date of its own, so its cells carry no date.
