Register index: the first shape, before any of it was checked
Superseded the same day. Kept because a lab that deletes its wrong drafts is harder to trust than one that leaves them up.
The first version of the index covered twenty-eight registers across nineteen trades and sixteen jurisdictions, from solicitors and notaries to electricians, gas installers, vets, migration agents and insurance brokers.
The spread was the point, and it still is. An early draft leaned heavily on property, which made the whole lab read as a real estate tool. A conveyancing fraud and a rewired invoice from a tradesman are the same problem in different clothes, and a standard that only serves one trade is a product.
The assessments in that version were placeholders. They were replaced the same day by registers checked one at a time against the authorities’ own pages, and several of the placeholder judgements turned out to be wrong, France most embarrassingly. This entry is left in place because the superseding one only means something if the thing it superseded is still readable.
