The Record

A stack of filings and a question. Work out what they actually establish.

Skill this builds: read a disclosure record for what it does and does not show, and stop where the evidence stops
About: About 8 minutes · Standards: Every entity in every case is fictional — a puzzle whose answer is a verdict about a real person is not one we will build., Every filing type, deadline and limitation is real., Nothing scored, nothing kept, nothing compared. · Plays offline

Open the records. Each one changes what the others mean. Then commit to a conclusion — including 'the records do not establish that'. More than one answer can be defensible. That is what a real stack of filings is like. Nothing is scored and nothing is saved.

Case 1 of 3

The Late Amendment

A twelve-word amendment narrowed who a new safety rule applies to. Which of these records, if any, establishes who asked for it?

Every person and company here is invented. The filing types, deadlines and limits are real.

The records

0 of 5 records open

Open them. Each one changes what the others mean.

What do they establish?

More than one of these can be defensible. That is what a real stack of filings is like.

Open at least two records first.

Nothing here is scored, saved, sent anywhere or compared to anybody. Every person and company in these cases is invented; every filing type, deadline and limitation is real.

The point

Every filing type in that case is real, and so is what it cannot show. The people and companies were invented.
