# Implementation Follow-Through Record

**Version:** 3.0.6  
**Last reviewed UTC:** 2026-06-20T00:41:09Z  
**Maturity:** Reviewed  
**Intended user:** Implementation owner, release reviewer, governance editor, accessibility reviewer, or public-interest reviewer checking whether published commitments were completed.

## Purpose

Use this record after a decision change record. Track each commitment as not started, in progress, completed, partially completed, deferred, blocked, no-op, or superseded. Link evidence, name the responsible role, state the next review, and explain blocked or no-op work.

A completed status must point to bounded evidence. A blocked or no-op status is not automatically failure when it preserves claim boundaries, accessibility, review capacity, or safety. Do not convert the record into a score for participants or a certificate for the institution.

## Interpretation rules

- `completed` requires a specific evidence reference, not a publicity statement.
- `blocked` requires a blocking reason and a consequence for the effective date or review path.
- `no_op` requires a reason showing why action would exceed evidence, authority, capacity, or claim boundaries.
- Deferred commitments remain visible; they do not disappear from the public record.
- Corrections can change the record without erasing the original status history.
