This is the first version in this chain. It has no earlier version to compare with.
What the rules say
0 met · 0 not met · 68 switched off · 1 don't apply
At least one rule rests on a labelled assumption or an unknown rather than a sourced fact for 2027. Every 2027 release so far is incomplete, and says so. It is not a failure.
Only "Not met" is a failure. Everything else in grey is a limit of the checking, or a rule that has nothing to act on. The recorded counts include 1 analyst-level rule listed only on the rules page.
No checked rule is broken in this version.
64 switched off — rule source not recorded, switched off by these settings The version does not record the source of this rule’s settings. We therefore treat the rule as unchecked.
