The categories of the Seoul safety frameworks (e.g. «does not cover severe risks») come from Claude's reading of the documents: the document is linked on each company's page.

6 · What we cannot see
- internal documents and unpublished safety evaluations;
- versions of documents that no archive saved;
- “no document found” is the result of a search, not proof that the document does not exist;
- signatory lists often have no dates: the date is the day we first saw the name;
- incidents the press does not report: the best-known companies have more recorded incidents because they are talked about more;
- many incidents do not have a severity yet;
- Chinese companies publish less in English and some of their commitments are read from third-party sources (AGORA).
