Every jurisdiction, against the eight categories

282 jurisdictions, each with its own answer to the eight questions, the audit the law there expects, and the population the share tables weight it by.

Reading a row

yes

An instrument in force names logs, records or an audit trail outright.

partial

An instrument in force requires something that cannot be shown without a record, without naming one. The duty is real and its shape is not stated.

no duty

Every instrument in force in that topic has been read, and none of them asks for a record. This is a finding about the law.

not researched

We have not read the instruments for this question yet. This is a gap in our work and says nothing about the law.

A subnational row is marked as one. It is shown because the law there is real and a developer operating there is bound by it, and it is never added into a share on the requirements page, because the people it governs are already counted in their country's row.

The population figure is the one the shares are computed from, with the publisher and the year underneath it so a reader can check rather than take it. A jurisdiction we hold no population figure for says so, and it is counted in the jurisdiction column of the share tables and left out of the percentages, which is what keeps a missing figure visible instead of arriving as a zero.

258 of the 282 rows carry an answer to anything. Where a category column is still empty it says not researched rather than leaving a blank a reader would have to interpret.

The climate band is a slot rather than a column with data in it. It is kept here, saying it is unscored, because the slot is part of what this table is for review of: a band added later keys on the jurisdiction and the topic together, and a reader should be able to see now where it will sit.

Every jurisdiction's name links to its page in the law library, which carries the instruments behind the row, their citations, their status and their sources. A name is what the law library calls the jurisdiction rather than what the slug in a database says, and the flag beside it is the one the rest of the site draws for that jurisdiction.

Eleven columns. On a narrow screen the table scrolls sideways rather than reflowing, because a matrix whose columns have been stacked is no longer a matrix.
