Evidence behind the competence floor
Provisions that name the people who must recover, coded on seven questions
The competence floor is the current human capacity needed to complete non-deferrable fallback work within a recovery tolerance. This corpus is the evidence behind it: recovery and continuity regimes, AI-governance regimes, and a contrast panel of regimes known to requalify their people. Each provision is coded on whether it names human competence, defines it, states a level, tests it, puts a clock on it, ties it to a measurable, and treats it as something lost with disuse. Rows appear as coded, with the verification note beside them. Counts follow the codebook: rows graded watch and rows not yet coded are left out of every denominator. A pattern here is a description of the coded corpus, not a population estimate.
Seven questions, three panels
A second coder
Jev, TypeSafe's System One model, coded the verbatim trigger text of every row on the same seven questions, given only the codebook's definitions, the instrument and the provision reference. It saw none of the qualifiers, rationale, grades or codes, and only the quoted text rather than the whole provision. Its codes are an AI suggestion set beside the workbook's for comparison; nothing in the workbook changes. Model .
Two clocks
The codebook reads two things at instrument level. A machine clock is an explicit numeric system-recovery time in the instrument. A person clock is an explicit personnel cadence: annual, quarterly, n-year. An instrument that only tells the entity to set its own recovery objective has no machine clock, and a cadence written as regular or periodic is no person clock. Each dot is one instrument.
Stated recovery tolerances reducible to hours
The workbook reduces a tolerance to hours only where the wording allows it. Its rule: next business day is entered as 24 for P1-15 and P1-16; within the business day takes the instrument's own intraday figure, so P1-18 is 2; where an instrument states both a next-business-day and a shorter figure, the shorter one is held, so P1-14 is 2. The stated wording is always beside the number.
