  "claim": "Will Anthropic publish its promised policy proposal for embedded independent AI evaluators by 15 December 2026?",
  "evidence": "Anthropic's Frontier Safety Roadmap updated on 19 October 2026 names a specific policy milestone: publish a proposal for governmental support of embedded independent evaluators by 15 December 2026. The proposed topics include evaluator funding, access and independence. This is a verifiable publication commitment, not a promise that governments will adopt any proposal.",
  "limitations": "A published policy proposal is not enacted regulation, a completed third-party safety evaluation or evidence of practical independence. The roadmap is maintained by the party making the commitment and could change; historical terms must be preserved separately from future updates.",
  "nextEvidence": "An archived, time-stamped Anthropic proposal published on or before 15 December 2026 covering evaluator access, funding and independence, with subsequent changes tracked rather than retroactively altering the original target.",
