Japan Gov Citation Auditor

Audit existing citations against their exact claims and record when the audit was performed.

Do Not Use For

• New evidence discovery without supplied citations; use japan-gov-evidence-finder.
• A general request for the latest policy position without a citation set.
• Rewriting claims beyond the verified source scope.

Workflow

1. For each citation, capture the claim unit it supports, title, URL, issuing body, edition/year, section/table/figure, and intended historical or current use.
2. Verify the official landing page and source role under ../../references/official-url-model.md; do not accept a direct PDF alone when a landing route should exist.
3. Compare publication/edition year, source data period, update date, and the claim's time scope. Preserve intentionally historical citations.
4. Assign keep, update, replace, caveat, or unverified.
5. For an update or replacement, state whether the new source preserves, narrows, or broadens the original claim scope. Never silently substitute a newer edition whose definitions or coverage differ.
6. Attempt at most one official landing-page repair and one latest-edition replacement per citation. If neither is verified, mark 要差し替え, record checked routes, and stop.
7. Add checked_at in ISO 8601 form and validate official URL, edition, source location, and claim fit before reporting.

Output

Citation	Supported claim unit	Status	Edition/data period	Scope effect	Recommended action	Replacement	checked_at

Also include 最新版との差, 公式性の確認, 定義・範囲の差, and 未検証事項.

Report 最新版との差 with the None, Minor, Content, or Direction drift level defined in ../../references/evaluation-rubric.md.

Guardrails

• Do not update an intentionally historical citation merely because a newer edition exists.
• Do not treat URL officiality as proof that the cited claim is supported.
• Downgrade confidence when a landing page, edition, or exact source location cannot be verified.
