v1.2: the census language pass
The census language pass. The method page has said since first publication
that record-checked attributes are tested over the complete population; the
texts now say it too.
- Attribute texts read "for each X" / "for all X"; period-form pass criteria
read "every X in the period"; collection playbooks ask for the population,
not a sample of it. The exception rule is unchanged: an isolated miss in an
otherwise working practice is an exception, not a gap, and the published
deviation rule decides systematic. - Every record-checked attribute carries a
frequencyfield, the input to
the published fallback-selection table for the rare population where a
complete pull is impracticable. Attributes drawing on the same population
carry the same frequency. - The readiness verdict vocabulary gains
absent(the practice itself does
not exist), distinct fromgap(the practice exists but cannot be
evidenced). Recording an absence requires the operator's own words. - Deliberate survivor: DAT-04's "sampled data," which means data-subsetting
for non-production environments, not audit sampling. Machine identifiers
(thesampleattribute type,sample_eligible) keep their names.
