| Tag | Meaning | Can you challenge it? |
|---|---|---|
| LAW | Stated in an Act or a statutory instrument. The source column names the section or regulation. | Yes, by reading the clause. A lawyer will do it better than I can. |
| GUIDE | Published by a government body or a regulator, but not law. It covers statutory codes of practice, regulators' guidance and official data, such as a list of public holidays. The source column names the paragraph or the page, and the date it was last checked. | Yes, by reading the page. Guidance can change without a new law. |
| MINE | A choice I made for this case: a role, a date, a starting point, a threshold. Not found anywhere. Kept visible so it can be argued with. | Yes, and that is the point of the tag. |
| OPEN | Nobody outside the organisation could answer this. Logged as an open question with an owner, a due date and a fallback. | Not yet. That is what makes it open. |
Tags can be combined, for example LAW and GUIDE together. The reference comes after the tags: the section of the law, the paragraph of the guidance, or the decision behind a choice. GUIDE is new in these files. On analify.com I use four more tags, explained at analify.com/method: POLICY, HELP, THREADS and WALKTHROUGH. None is needed here, because the organisation is fictional. It has no published policy or help pages, no public complaint threads to count and no published journey to walk through.
