Confidence justification

Medium: primary anchors are distinctive form titles and statutory terms, but they also appear in guidance, blank forms and statistics, so enforce tiers require populated record structure. 85/75 are heuristic evidence tiers, not measured accuracy; test values are synthetic records laid out like the published forms.

Should not match

• Registered NDIS providers must notify the NDIS Commission of reportable incidents, including unauthorised use of a restrictive practice, within 24 hours or 5 business days. — Guidance or explainer text
• Reportable incident notification Participant: __________ Date of incident: __________ Incident type: __________ — Blank form
• The NDIS Commission received 16,800 reportable incident notifications in 2024-25, most concerning unauthorised restrictive practices. — Aggregate statistics or news

Known false positives

• Guidance pages, fact sheets, policy and training text that name the record type. Mitigation: Enforce tiers require populated record fields; guidance uses the labels without values.
• Blank forms and form kits. Mitigation: Blank lines, square-bracket and angle-bracket placeholders and n/a/tbc values are rejected.
• Aggregate statistics and news reporting. Mitigation: No populated person or reference fields, so these stay at 65 discovery.
