Field notes
The narrative moves through eight dated milestones, with chapter labels including “Readiness for readiness” and “Consent is harmonised.” In the 2027 episode, an administrative unit is created to evaluate a productivity model before it is tested; the report says the model remains unavailable while its employment effects are assessed. The site also links to research supplements and an interactive model, though the extract does not show what those resources contain.
