NO RUNG IS IN FORCE FOR THIS MEDICINE. A PRICE CONCESSION IS NOT A RUNG — IT IS A SIGNAL, AND SIGNALS NEVER MOVE A TIER.
SIGNALS
SLIPPAGEn/aSSP expiry revisions — a Serious Shortage Protocol re-dated to a later expiry, the earliest honest sign a shortage is lasting longer than first stated. One row per revision (prior_date → revised_date, signed slip_days), published at /api/v1/slippage.json. Computed from the append-only ledger, which keeps every expiry as its own immutable observation.
MARKET STRESSn/aPrice-concession presence and month-on-month movement. Concession churn often runs ahead of formal notices.
DURATION PERCENTILESn/aHistorical resolution times for comparable shortages. Computed from accumulated history, never predicted.
CRITICALITY WHO EMLn/aPresence on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines.
CRITICALITY EU CRITICALn/aPresence on the EU Union list of critical medicines. Published independently of WHO EML — where the two disagree, the disagreement is displayed rather than resolved.
CROSS JURISDICTION STRESSn/aCount of other regulators reporting a shortage of the same MOLECULE. Reported at molecule level via ATC/INN — never implying product equivalence across jurisdictions.
EVERY SIGNAL IS DEFINED IN THE PUBLISHED CONTRACT. MARKET STRESS IS COMPUTED WHERE A TIER IS IN FORCE; THE OTHERS ARE NOT COMPUTED YET AND READ n/a RATHER THAN ZERO — A ZERO WOULD CLAIM WE MEASURED.
