How the record is built

One reviewed JSON record drives every page, the kit and the watch. Each unit carries its citation, its claim level, the requirement in plain English, the evidence an auditor asks for, the common gap and a source pointer. Where the public text is silent, the field says so.

The five steps

  1. Read the public record. The ISO catalogue page, the public preview in the Online Browsing Platform and the national body pages that carry the stage date.
  2. Author one record. Each unit gets a plain reading, a binding party, evidence, a gap and a source pointer. Definitions are paraphrased, never copied.
  3. Test the wording. A strict seven-word overlap check runs against the public source. A passage that repeats seven consecutive words is rewritten.
  4. Seed the evidence from exported rules. The crosswalk reads 167 rules exported from three AI standards, so every evidence line points to a real rule.
  5. Render and gate. Pages, kit, smokes, the UX audit, the legal gate, the link check and the refresh script. A step is done when its command prints and the output is quoted in the build log.

Claim levels

Defined term means the entry is public in clause 3. Clause area means the heading and structure are public. Concept section means the heading is public and the body is not. A concept page never pretends to summarise a body it cannot read.

What is paraphrased

Every requirement line, intent line, practice line, probe, gap and evidence line is our own wording. Term names, clause titles and defined terms stay verbatim because they are the names of things. The draft text is not reproduced.

What is not covered

ISO/IEC DIS 42102 is not covered in full and is not in the rules library. Only its public preview is read. The framework therefore cannot be presented as a fully read standard, and this site does not claim that it is. The three standards used for the crosswalk are read for that purpose: ISO/IEC 42001:2023, ISO/IEC 23894:2023 and ISO/IEC 42005:2025.

How the refresh works

The refresh script fetches the ISO record and the public preview, normalises the stage, the dates, the status, the page count and the term set, and compares them with the record. A difference is a finding for a person, never an automatic rewrite. The same diff is what the paid watch sends.

The limits

The draft text is not public. The site does not know the descriptor wording or the annex titles and does not guess them. The planning date is an estimate. The product is not legal advice and does not certify.
