Every record states its basis, confidence and trust tier. llms.txt explains the tiers and the fields to read for an agent.
What Orca holds, how far it has been checked, and where it should abstain. Snapshot 2026-09-20.
50 rails hold 1137 records: 777 reason codes and 360 rail facts.
How far they have been checked: 66 draft, 1071 corroborated, 0 verified, 0 superseded. That is 94.2% corroborated or better.
Nothing here is verified: no record has been checked by a person against a governing authority's own current text, so the strongest tier in the corpus today is corroborated. Confirm anything that matters with the authority or your institution.
776 on the governing authority's own text, 143 on another public operator or regulator publication, 152 on secondary sources only, 66 on nothing checked yet. 68.2% of the corpus rests on the authority's own text, 19.2% on secondary sources or nothing.
0 records have a check that has gone stale: no corroboration resting only on secondary sources is older than 24 months against snapshot 2026-09-20.
27 rails publish a code list: 5 name no gap at all, 5 name gaps that do not touch the codes, 17 name a gap in the codes themselves. 10 rails keep their codes in directories of their own (au-npp, ch-sic-ip, eps, gcc-afaq, mastercard, paypal, pix, rtp, uk-fps, visa). 13 rails hold no reason code under their name at all.
30 rails publish a rail profile: 30 answer all 12 facets, 0 answer only some. 20 rails have no profile.
270 gap lines are recorded across 45 rails; each rail's page lists its own in full.

The last 20 commits that changed something, 2026-09-21 to 2026-09-26, added 228 records, removed 0 and superseded 0; changed 1 deadlines, 1 actions and 73 meanings; demoted 1 records a trust tier and promoted 129; added, re-read or dropped 229 sources; found 0 newly stale; changed 5 known gap lines; and changed 73 other fields. 0 further commits changed formatting only and count as no change at all. Read from this repository's git history at build time, not from a stored tally; the list is in changes.json.
Every figure here is computed by the build from the corpus itself at snapshot 2026-09-20; none is written by hand, and the build refuses to publish this page if a figure disagrees with corpus.json.
Coverage counts an answer in full as one and an answer in part as a half, over every question in the bank. 4 rails of 50 have a bank; the rest have no measured competency at all, which is not the same as scoring zero.
Each sentence under "Where Orca is strong" is written from that group's own figures: a rail counts as strongest when no record in it reads draft and at least half of its records rest on the governing authority's own text, as a lead when any record reads draft, and as holding no codes when no reason code is published under its name.
21 dated changes Orca holds a typed date for, next 12 shown.
60 more dates named only in a record's own note, not yet a typed field.
0 dates has passed with nothing superseding the record yet.
The full list, with sources and trust, is in upcoming.json and as an Atom feed at upcoming.xml. This is what Orca holds a date for, not a claim that every rail change is here.
Each rail's own split by trust tier and source class is in Coverage and confidence above, under "Every rail, rail by rail".
