One page per clause
The guidance in our words, the evidence a reviewer asks for, the common gaps and what to do before the second edition lands.
Open the registerOne record, written from the clause, checked before release
The method is deliberately boring. Read the source, write the guidance in our own words, cite the clause, write the evidence a reviewer would ask for, and test the wording against the source before it ships. Then re-read the public record on a schedule and fail the build if it changed.
The record first
Every page, the free check, the kit and the watch are rendered from one JSON record. A change to a clause is a change to the record, and every output follows. There is no second copy of the text to drift. The record carries the retrieval date and the source URL on every field group.
Paraphrase, never reproduce
Only clause titles, the nine attribute titles and the five defined terms stay verbatim. Every guidance line, evidence line and failure line is our own statement. The strict seven-word overlap test runs against the source and its prior editions before release. A page that fails is rewritten, not shipped.
Dates with a status
A recorded date is on the official record. A derived date is computed from a recorded date and a stated rule. An estimated date is a planning choice. The site labels each one and never presents an estimate as an ISO commitment. The planning date of 15 February 2027 is an estimate.
What the record cannot see
The FDIS text is not public, so the record cannot see a clause change in the second edition. It follows the 2017 edition in force. When the FDIS or the published second edition is available, the record is refreshed and the watch sends the diff. Until then, the site says what it does not know.
Refresh and fail loudly
scripts/refresh downloads the ISO feed and the public records, compares the stage, the dates and the replacement relationship with this record, and exits non-zero on an unexpected change. The same comparison is what the watch sends. The build cannot silently pass a changed official record.
THE RULES THIS IS BUILT FROM
Read from the real rules, not invented
Every clause answer on this site points to the official clause behind it, so you can check any line yourself. The register holds 41 records, 174 evidence lines and 123 common failure lines. The revision dates come from the ISO record, one national member body record and one reseller record. The clause substance comes from ISO 22316:2017, the published edition in force.
21 CLAUSE RECORDS
20 DISCIPLINES
Annex A, clearly labelled
Annex A is informative and names twenty management disciplines. Each page says so, because a finding cannot rest on guidance alone.
Open the annexONE STAGE RECORD
No invented date
Stage 50.00 is recorded on 6 July 2026. The planning date is an estimate and is labelled wherever it appears.
Read the recordThe FDIS text is not public and is not reproduced. The clause record covers the 2017 edition. No clause-level change in the FDIS is claimed. Where the public record is silent, the page says so.
