Key points
Decision-relevant statements; inference should be labelled in the content.
- Reform documents frequently reference prior decisions and future steps; programme teams should track what is binding versus indicative.
- Transitional arrangements can produce uneven treatment; assurance packs should explicitly record which rules are assumed and why.
- Premium outputs should include an 'assumptions register' tied to documents, dates, and triggers for refresh.
Actions
Practical next steps if this Signal touches your mandate.
- Introduce an assumptions register for connection-related programme items (document, paragraph reference where relevant, trigger, owner).
- Align governance gates to connections milestones with explicit evidence deliverables (not narrative updates).
