The conformance statement

The one page a representative publishes when it claims a level.

VCRS 0.1.0-beta.4, core and Annex <XX>. One page, no personal data. The same content as JSON follows schema/conformance.schema.json.

Representative <name, registration number>
Action <title>, against <defendants>, <court and case number>, <under the forum's transposition of Directive (EU) 2020/1828, or not>
Operator <name>
Level claimed <Registered, Identified or Verified>
Reference date <YYYY-MM-DD>
Denominator <low> to <high>, from <source>, as of <date>

Records at the reference date

Grade Records Coverage
A or better
B or better
C or better
D, active
D, not active

Each row from A to C counts the active records at that grade or better (core 6.2). A record that is not active is grade D (core 4.1 rule 1) and counts in the last row alone, so C or better and the two rows at D add up to the records in the snapshot.

An example

VCRS 0.1.0-beta.4, core and Annex NL. The conformance statement filled in for the example register in register.json and records.csv. The representative, the defendant, the operator and the auditor are fictional. The figures are the example register's: eight records against a class of 21 000 to 26 000, so its coverage is a fraction of a percent.

Representative Stichting Voorbeeldclaim, KvK 00000000
Action Software that was sold and never delivered, against Example Motors B.V., not yet filed, under the forum's transposition of Directive (EU) 2020/1828

B or better 3 0.0115% to 0.0143%

D, not active 1

Each row from A to C counts the active records at that grade or better (core 6.2). A record that is not active is grade D (core 4.1 rule 1) and counts in the last row alone, so C or better and the two rows at D add up to the records in the snapshot.
