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](https://vcrs.org/draft/apply/statement) filled in for the example register in [register.json](https://vcrs.org/draft/templates/register.json) and [records.csv](https://vcrs.org/draft/apply/spreadsheet). 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 |
| Operator | Stichting Voorbeeldclaim |
| Level claimed | Verified |
| Reference date | 2026-10-12 |
| Denominator | 21 000 to 26 000, from RDW open data, registrations of the models concerned, times the take rate of package X in the defendant's annual report, as of 2026-09-01 |

### Records at the reference date

| Grade | Records | Coverage |
|---|--:|--:|
| A or better | 1 | 0.0038% to 0.0048% |
| B or better | 3 | 0.0115% to 0.0143% |
| C or better | 5 | 0.0192% to 0.0238% |
| D, active | 2 |  |
| 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.

### The snapshot
