At least two distinct vendor advisory assurances published after issuance and on or before 2027-01-31T23:59Z, each stating a vulnerability is not known to be exploited, are retrospectively undermined by 2027-04-26T12:30Z by documented exploitation evidence dated before the assurance (same-day pairs only with reliable ordering).

benchmark basis
One reversal on the conduct ledger since the 27 Aug reset (Ahsay); one held candidate (Microsoft SharePoint). About one per eight weeks at CHQ's collection; Poisson 1.8 expected in a 14-week assurance window gives 0.54 for two or more, shaded down for narrow collection. A prior, stated as such.

resolution rule
Counting unit: one vendor, one advisory, one assurance, one undermining evidence item. YES if two or more units satisfy: assurance archived in original wording, published in the assurance window; undermining evidence (vendor revision, catalog listing with exploitation date, responder report) at or before RESOLUTION_TS; exploitation date before the assurance date, or same day with reliable timestamps or independently established ordering; identifiers match. Interpretation: measures reliability as a risk input; no claim of falsity or knowledge.
admissibility
Assurances before ISSUED_TS cannot qualify; Grade A or B with stated date on the undermining evidence; exclusions: statements overtaken by later exploitation, severity-only revisions, unarchivable assurances.
exclusions
statements overtaken by later exploitation, severity-only revisions, unarchivable assurances.
