Limits of this edition
Posted: Sun Oct 11, 2026 12:47 pm
- This is the first edition. It covers 34 jurisdictions; a jurisdiction's absence says nothing about it.
- Each entry asks one question. A jurisdiction's rules may raise others that this edition does not address.
- In 15 of the 38 entries, no company's own account could be tested, and the question is put to a regulator or government instead.
- In one entry, South Korea, the company's account comes from press reports; no publication by the company itself was found.
- Some primary documents could not be opened directly, for example because a site refused access or a document was available only as an image. Where that happened, the entry says so and names the substitute it used.
- Company figures, such as the share of claims handled automatically, are reported as the company states them and are not independently checked.
- Several entries depend on dated events that may change quickly, such as pending laws, draft regulations, and systems described as pilots or public betas. Each entry lists these under Dates ahead.
- Of the 23 named companies, 12 have been confirmed on their regulator's public register. The others are identified from their own documents or regulators' publications.
- Entries are written in English. Where a source is in another language, the entry works from the original and marks English renderings.
- The Index reads the public record. It cannot see what firms tell their regulators privately, or what regulators ask of firms in supervision.
