Reality checkpoints
Regular comparison of the GADM adoption band and model readings with
observed economic, sociological and technical data. Method:
research/ScenarioBandMethod.md § 6. Workplan: ASSEMBLY-WP-0010.

Protocol
- Window check. Is today inside an active window in
schedule.md for
this kind? If not, record an out-of-window no-op and stop.
- Collect. Gather the indicators for this kind from
IndicatorCatalog.md:
light = adoption, investment and sentiment indicators; full = all
catalog sections. Use the most recent published value, and record value,
unit, reference period, publication date and source URL. Never invent a
value: if it isn't found, record not found and the sources tried.
- Compare. For every indicator with an entry in
predictions.md, locate
the observation in the band (which anchor B1–B4 it tracks), and mark it
inside or outside the band. Indicators without a registered prediction
are recorded as observations only.
- Assess. Short notes per jurisdiction: which archetype and band anchor
reality currently tracks, notable legislation or sentiment changes, and
surprises.
- Record. Write
checkpoints/YYYY/YYYY-MM-DD-<kind>.md from the template
in PLAYBOOK.md. Append the observations to the matching entries in
predictions.md. Never edit earlier predictions or observations.
- No silent re-tuning. Model changes suggested by a checkpoint become an
intake (
intakes/intakes.md) or a workplan task. Parameter changes go
through models/ParameterGrounding.md.
- Complete. Commit and push, then post a State Hub progress event with
event_type: assembly_checkpoint and detail: repo, date, kind,
path, in_band, out_of_band, not_found.
