Method and definitions
PALLAS is an evidence-infrastructure readiness map. The method is a staged public-source construction process: define indicators, collect public records, freeze a country matrix, run a second-pass source refresh, isolate candidate deltas, and route weak claims to review.
Public-source collection
Country lanes gathered official and contextual public sources, keeping evidence rows separate from interpretation and preserving source counts for auditability.
Frozen v0 matrix
The first 250-jurisdiction matrix was frozen on 2026-05-30 at 21:01 EEST with 5,036 source rows.
Second-pass hardening
A second pass refreshed sources, produced 5,188 refreshed source rows, and kept proposed score/confidence movements as reviewable deltas.
Release gates
Public artifacts pass vocabulary, source-status, private-data, and overclaiming scans before use in briefs, papers, or the Atlas.
Construction time
The current build shown here ran from 2026-05-29 14:22 EEST to 2026-05-31 14:52 EEST: about 48.5 elapsed clock hours.
Layer dictionary
EATF © attestation layer
PALLAS uses batch-level Merkle checkpoints: artifacts are hashed, arranged into a tree, and the tree head is signed through EATF ©. The attestation proves the provenance and integrity of the recorded artifact set; it does not prove legal correctness, reproducibility, or final source interpretation.
Further directions
The next phase turns PALLAS from a first public atlas into a live evidence observatory with stronger source review, clearer country narratives, and publishable research outputs.
Country narratives
Expand Estonia-first and Finland-comparator cases into source-grounded papers, then add regional calibration groups.
Interactive research map
Add timeline filters, source-type filters, confidence overlays, and exportable country cards for pallas.eatf.eu.
Evidence lifecycle
Track provenance, attestations, review decisions, revocation signals, and post-market monitoring references as first-class fields.
Publication program
Route separate outputs for dataset description, method, Estonia-Finland case study, legal-policy synthesis, and policy brief audiences.
