Reports and publications

Editions, exports, and why a render can be refused.

Who this is for

Anyone producing a deliverable somebody outside will read.

Report families and editions

A report is a family. Each language edition belongs to that family and inherits its dataset version and evidence lineage rather than recomputing them — which is what keeps five editions on one chain instead of producing five unrelated reports.

Creating a translated edition

A non-source edition must reference a governed translation artefact that your organization owns and that targets the edition’s language. Without one the edition cannot be created — an edition in another language with no record of how the words got there is a publication with untraceable provenance.

Exports

PDF, DOCX, PPTX and XLSX. Arabic editions render right-to-left with embedded Unicode fonts.

Why a render is refused

Export is governed. A render is refused when the evidence behind the report cannot be resolved — most commonly because a claim cites nothing, an element carries no citation, or the report predates governed evidence linkage entirely.
