Writing
Notes.
Three pieces on the things we keep having to correct in rooms — about the dates, about what counts as evidence, and about what a green tick actually means.
-
Article 50 is already in force. December is a different deadline.
The transparency obligations applied from 2 August. What moves on 2 December is a four-month transition on one sub-obligation, for one category of system. The two get conflated constantly, and it is leaving the larger half of the exposed market unattended.
-
“All reasonable steps” is a record, not a score.
The UK offence gives a defence the defendant has to prove. A refusal rate is a statistic about a model, and it cannot do that job. What survives challenge is what control was in place, on what date, decided by whom — and demonstrably not written afterwards.
-
What verification does not prove.
A valid signature tells you a file has not changed since somebody signed it. It does not tell you who, or when, or whether anything was quietly removed from the end. Three gaps we report on every result rather than rounding up to a tick.
