The 2026 scoreboard: twenty-three of twenty-four cells unmoved

Bogotá seen from a forested overlook.

Key takeaways

  • Twenty-three of twenty-four cells stable after a year of implementation: the most precise available measurement of the instruments-habits gap.
  • The only cell that moved went down: what is built is reversible; what is pending does not build itself.
  • Three independent measurements confirm the same zeros: reasonable doubt is over.
  • The external clock loosened: the EU postponed its high-risk regime to December 2027. Global supply will still produce the standard; requiring it by contract is now easier, not less urgent.
  • The plateau breaks from above: the neglected layers (transparency, follow-up, use) are the cheap ones.

A year of policies in implementation moved no capacity upward — and the only cell that changed went down. The region sits on the plateau between instruments and habits. The difference is that now it knows, with numbers.
