Diplomacy

Each dated event is counted once in its primary category. Several clauses in one document, translated copies and repeated descriptions do not become additional events. A count measures documented activity, not completed projects or progress toward opening a route.

Event dates take precedence over publication dates. Signing, constitutional review, ratification, entry into force, company registration, spending and operational delivery require different evidence. Official reports are attributed to their issuing institutions. Undated facts and unresolved checks are not assigned invented chart dates.

The reviewed material does not establish an entry-into-force date, company registration, finalized corporate instruments, itemized TRIPP disbursements, construction commencement or route operation. This is a limit of the reviewed evidence, not proof that a step has not occurred.
