- Decision cue
- A sentence turns a proposed start or a request into an adopted obligation.
- Question to ask
- Who can decide, on which text, at which stage, and what evidence would justify stronger wording?
- Applicable setting
- The synthetic January/July assignment. Historical EU material illustrates a distinct named procedure.
- Excluded setting
- Legal advice, automatic deadline calculation, other jurisdictions without a specialist, and live compliance assurance.
- Required evidence
- S01 §1: proposal and non-adoption
- S02 §2: industry request
- S03 §1 when available: revised option
- S04 §1–3: mandate and reviewer correction
- Acceptable example
- The revised consultation considers July 2027; adoption has not been confirmed.
- Counterexample
- July 2027 is the adopted start and the pilot is mandatory.
- Competing interpretation / uncertainty
- Adoption and funding remain unresolved. A later proposal does not erase an earlier proposal.
- Escalation
- Missing instrument, disputed authority, ambiguous provision or consequential legal interpretation.
- Output constraint
- Retain proposal modality, request status, optional pilot and unresolved funding in the sentence.
- Author / review assertion
- TACITUS website author (illustrative role). Authored teaching review; no independent specialist review. Scope: teaching method and sample wording; reservations: Adoption and funding remain unresolved. A later proposal does not erase an earlier proposal.
