Pouya LajevardiandClaude Opus 5 6aaf089b05 feat: rule Q62 by stating the truth; strike the /med-arb/ gloss; re-stamp R18 
Pouya's four rulings of 2026-09-01, applied 2026-09-02.

Q62 — RULED "state the truth", not "remove the access". /legal/privacy/
now says two people can read the intake table, names their role, and adds
the two stronger facts the false sentence had crowded out: the handler
role holds PutItem only, and adr-sml-deploy is implicitDeny on all seven
read and write actions. Wording is subject to Pouya's read-through —
Q63(a), with a TODO(pouya) beside the copy.

The ruling named one sentence; a vocabulary sweep found the falsehood in
three places, and the audit then found two more. Five paragraphs now
answer "who can see it" and change together.

The tripwire stays permanently, per ruling, and grew from two
alternatives to five. Every alternative is one string that reached dist/.
Proven both ways against the pre-correction page rebuilt from bd282aa:
exit 1 with 5 matches at dist/legal/privacy/index.html:54,67,67,68,72;
exit 0 on the corrected page, self-test 12 patterns / 36 approved
strings.

/med-arb/ — the gloss is struck with no replacement, per ruling. The
strike left "the section above" pointing at the ADRIC rule set and "the
agreement" with no antecedent; both fixed. The bare designations line
sitting under ADRIC's quoted competence requirement is also struck, which
goes beyond the ruling and is flagged for Pouya.

R18 — re-stamped, two-tier: (a)(c)(d) re-verified against a source,
(b)(e)(f)(g) held on a cadence judgement. All seven hold, no shipped
sentence changed. R18's trigger had NO cutover checklist item and had
stamped five extracts of seven; both fixed. Candidate limb (h) flagged.

R10 — fired and unsatisfied; left open on instruction.

The evidence behind the new privacy sentence was weaker than the
sentence. Re-measured: 33 of 33 roles simulated (23 of 26 carried inline
policies nobody had read; the two CDK lookup roles can read the table),
four trust policies, the CloudFormation escalation path for all five
users, 0 federated providers, root recorded. Every read path terminates
at the same two people.

Two review rounds, 36 findings. 35 fixed, 1 declined. Five of round 2's
were defects in round 1's own fixes; stopped at two per D19.

The exact published names of ADRIC, ADRIO and ADR Chambers rule sets, designations and codes

Committed under AGENTS.md R14 and the CLAUDE.md rule it encodes: anything a spec makes a claim about must be reachable from the repository. Every fact the six /practice/* pages state about the world is checkable here or it is not published.

Retrieved 2026-08-29. Fetched from the primary sources listed below and extracted with quotations pasted verbatim. This file is the artefact; the pages cite it. Do not paraphrase a fact into a page that is not stated here.

⚠️ A statute, a regulation and a tribunal page all move. Every consolidation date and effective date below is as at the retrieval date and nothing more. Re-check before cutover, and before any republish that turns on one of them.

R18 re-check — cutover pass, 2026-09-01

The trigger fired. AGENTS.md §12 R18 holds the per-limb findings and the sources; this stamp does not restate them. The quoted bytes below are still the original retrieval and were not re-fetched — what was re-checked is whether the facts they support have moved.

  • (g) ADRIC's Code of Ethics, quoted verbatim on /process/ — NOT RE-RETRIEVED. Held unchanged on a cadence judgement [assumed 2026-09-01 — Pouya]. It is the slowest-moving of the seven; the live link on /process/ is what makes a stale quotation visible to a reader.

Topic as researched: The Canadian ADR institutions this practice names, and the exact form of their names — ADRIC / ADRIO rule sets, designations, codes; ADR Chambers; early neutral evaluation and dispute-system design

The ADRIC National Mediation Rules

The National Mediation Rules provide rules for initiating mediations, including the appointment of a mediator should the parties be unable to come to an agreement.

The National Mediation Rules document contains the following: Mediation Rules including Code of Conduct Standard Form Agreement to Mediate (Schedule B) Administration fees payable to the ADR Institute of Canada- see Schedule A of the Rules

All disputes arising out of or in connection with this agreement, or in respect of any legal relationship associated with or derived from this agreement, shall be mediated pursuant to the National Mediation Rules of the ADR Institute of Canada, Inc.

Important Update on the ADR Institute of Canada (ADRIC) National Mediation Rules: As of 2025, the ADRIC Mediation Committee is currently reviewing the Mediation Rules to ensure they remain current, practical, and aligned with best practices in the field. In the meantime, the existing rules remain in effect and should continue to be used until any updates are formally adopted.

Commercial contracts drafted by law firms of all sizes across Canada commonly contain a clause indicating that any dispute that arises with respect to the contract will be administered by ADR Canada, or one of its affiliates, pursuant to the National Mediation Rules or the ADRIC Arbitration Rules of the ADR Institute of Canada.

https://adrchambersinternational.com/ — retrieved 2026-08-29

ADR Chambers International ("ADRCI") is the leading Canadian organization that specializes in International Arbitration and Mediation. Through the use of the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules as supplemented by its own state of the art rules, ADRCI provides practitioners and their clients uniformity and credibility in the field of international arbitration and mediation.

What this establishes

Each item names the source it rests on. An item here that no quotation above supports is a defect in this file, not a fact.

  • ADRIC's corporate name, as it appears in its own site footer and in its rule documents, is "ADR Institute of Canada, Inc." — the comma and the "Inc." are part of the name. Source: https://adric.ca/rules-codes/
  • ADRIC's arbitration rules are titled "ADRIC Arbitration Rules". The web page's

    reads "The ADRIC Arbitration Rules" and the browser title is "ADRIC Arbitration Rules - ADR Institute of Canada". Source: https://adric.ca/rules-codes/arbrules/

  • The current arbitration rules edition is effective 1 March 2025. The page says "ADRIC has adopted new Arbitration Rules and a new Arbitrator Appointment Protocol, effective March 1, 2025" and labels the download "ADRIC Arbitration Rules – Effective 2025". Source: https://adric.ca/rules-codes/arbrules/
  • The PDF cover of the current edition reads "ADRIC / ARBITRATION RULES / Effective 01 March 2025" — ADRIC writes the date day-first on the artefact itself, and "March 1, 2025" in web prose. Its internal title page reads "ADR INSTITUTE OF CANADA, INC. / ARBITRATION RULES". Source: https://adric.ca/rules/ADRIC-Arbitration-Rules-2025.pdf
  • ADRIC publishes a companion document titled "ADRIC Arbitrator Appointment Protocol", also effective 01 March 2025, whose PDF cover carries "Revised: 2026-01-30". Source: https://adric.ca/rules/ADRIC-Arbitration-Protocol-2025.pdf
  • ADRIC's mediation rules are titled "National Mediation Rules". The page

    is "The ADRIC National Mediation Rules", the browser title is "National Mediation Rules - ADR Institute of Canada", and the model clause reads "pursuant to the National Mediation Rules of the ADR Institute of Canada, Inc." Source: https://adric.ca/rules-codes/national-mediation-rules/

  • ADRIC is internally inconsistent about the mediation rules' name: the Rules & Codes index nav item reads "National Mediation Rules" while the index card on the same page reads "ADRIC Mediation Rules". Both strings appear in the same fetched document. Source: https://adric.ca/rules-codes/
  • The mediation rules PDF that ADRIC currently links carries no 2025-era effective date; its internal headings read "ADR INSTITUTE OF CANADA, INC. / NATIONAL MEDIATION RULES" and every page footer reads "ADR Institute of Canada, Inc. © As amended August 3, 2012". Source: https://adric.ca/pdf/ADRMEDIATIONRULES2014.pdf
  • As of the page state on 2026-08-29 the mediation rules are under review but unchanged: "the ADRIC Mediation Committee is currently reviewing the Mediation Rules ... In the meantime, the existing rules remain in effect and should continue to be used until any updates are formally adopted." Source: https://adric.ca/rules-codes/national-mediation-rules/
  • ADRIC's med-arb rules are titled "ADRIC Med-Arb Rules" — hyphenated "Med-Arb", not "Med/Arb" and not "Mediation-Arbitration". The page

    is "The ADRIC Med-Arb Rules". Source: https://adric.ca/rules-codes/adric-med-arb-rules/

  • The ADRIC Med-Arb Rules PDF is stamped "Version 1 - 1 June 2020" and its running head and title block read "ADRIC Med-Arb Rules" / "MED-ARB RULES" / "THE ADRIC MED-ARB RULES". Source: https://adric.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/ADRIC_Med_Arb_Rules_2020_8_5-X-11-p.-1.pdf
  • The chartered med-arb designation is written by ADRIC as "Chartered Med-Arbitrator", abbreviated "C.Med-Arb". The Professional Designations page lists verbatim: "Chartered Med-Arbitrator – C.Med-Arb" (raw HTML: "Chartered Med-Arbitrator – C.Med-Arb"), and the site-wide nav item linking to that page reads "Chartered Med-Arbitrator". Source: https://adric.ca/professional-designations/
  • The string "Chartered Mediator-Arbitrator" does not appear anywhere on the ADRIC or ADRIO pages fetched. A grep for "Mediator-Arbitrator" across all 20+ extracted ADRIC/ADRIO page texts returned no matches; "Med-Arbitrator" matched on every page (nav) plus the designation list. Source: https://adric.ca/professional-designations/
  • ADRIC uses a second, shorter form for the same designation on the designation's own page: the heading is "ADRIC Chartered Med-Arb Designation (C.Med-Arb)", the browser title is "Chartered Med-Arb - ADR Institute of Canada", and the linked criteria are "Chartered Med-Arb Criteria". Source: https://adric.ca/professional-designations/chartered-med-arb/
  • The ADRIC Med-Arb Rules page uses a third form again: "we have also developed criteria for a specialized designation: the Chartered Med-Arb". Source: https://adric.ca/rules-codes/adric-med-arb-rules/
  • ADRIC's four generalist designations expand as: Qualified Arbitrator (Q.Arb), Qualified Mediator (Q.Med), Chartered Arbitrator (C.Arb), Chartered Mediator (C.Med). ADRIC groups the first two as "Entry-level Qualified Designations" and the latter two as "Senior-level Chartered Designations". Source: https://adric.ca/professional-designations/
  • ADRIC describes C.Arb as "Canada's only official senior designation for experienced, practicing Arbitrators" and Q.Arb as "an entry-level designation for arbitrators". Source: https://adric.ca/professional-designations/arbitrator-designations/
  • ADRIC describes C.Med as "Canada's most senior designation for mediators with a general or special practice" and Q.Med as "an entry-level step for mediators". The mediator designations page

    is "ADRIC's National Designations for Mediators". Source: https://adric.ca/professional-designations/mediator-designations/

  • ADRIC designations are conferred nationally but administered regionally: "You must be a 'Full' Member via one of ADRIC's Regional Affiliates before applying for an ADRIC designation." Source: https://adric.ca/professional-designations/
  • ADRIC names its seven regional affiliates verbatim as: ADR Institute of British Columbia (ADRBC), ADR Institute of Alberta (ADRIA), ADR Institute of Saskatchewan Inc. (ADRISK), ADR Institute of Manitoba (ADRIM), ADR Institute of Ontario, Inc. (ADRIO), L'Institut de médiation et d'arbitrage du Québec (IMAQ), ADR Atlantic Institute (ADRAI). Source: https://adric.ca/professional-designations/arbitrator-designations/
  • ADRIC publishes exactly two conduct/ethics instruments for practitioners, and their exact titles are "Code of Ethics" and "Code of Conduct for Mediators": "ADRIC members are held accountable to practice standards that include a Code of Conduct for Mediators and a National Code of Ethics." Source: https://adric.ca/rules-codes/code-of-conduct/
  • The Code of Ethics applies to all ADRIC members and covers both processes: "This code is applicable to all members of the ADR Institute of Canada" and "A Member shall uphold the integrity and fairness of the arbitration and mediation processes." Source: https://adric.ca/rules-codes/code-of-ethics/
  • ADRIC itself calls the same two documents by varying names: the Code of Ethics page says "the Code of Ethics, the Code of Conduct for Mediators"; the Code of Conduct page says "a Code of Conduct for Mediators and a National Code of Ethics"; the Ethics & Professional Practice page says "a Mediator's Code of Conduct and a National Code of Ethics". Source: https://adric.ca/ethics-professional-practice/
  • The Code of Conduct for Mediators is also bound into the National Mediation Rules booklet: "The National Mediation Rules document contains the following: Mediation Rules including Code of Conduct". Source: https://adric.ca/rules-codes/national-mediation-rules/
  • ADRIC's Ethics & Professional Practice section also names two further instruments: "Conflict of Interest" and "Complaints & Discipline Policy". Source: https://adric.ca/ethics-professional-practice/
  • ADRIO's own name, as it writes it, is "The ADR Institute of Ontario" in page titles and "ADR Institute of Ontario, Inc. (ADRIO)" in ADRIC's affiliate list. Source: https://adr-ontario.ca/professional-designations/
  • ADRIO writes the designation as "Chartered Med-Arbitrator (C.Med-Arb)" — that is the page

    , the browser title, and the nav item. Source: https://adr-ontario.ca/chartered-med-arbitrator-c-med-arb/

  • ADRIO's designation nav lists, verbatim: "Qualified Mediator (Q.Med) & Qualified Arbitrator (Q.Arb) / Chartered Mediator (C.Med) / Chartered Arbitrator (C.Arb) / Chartered Med-Arbitrator (C.Med-Arb)". Source: https://adr-ontario.ca/professional-designations/
  • ADRIO publishes its own "Code of Ethics" as a page on its own site, applicable "to all members of the Institute", but points to ADRIC for the Code of Conduct — its "Code of Conduct" entry links to https://adric.ca/rules-codes/code-of-conduct/. Source: https://adr-ontario.ca/rules-codes/
  • ADRIO does not publish its own mediation or arbitration rules: its Rules & Codes page lists "ADRIC Arbitration Rules" and "National Mediation Rules", both linking out to adric.ca. Source: https://adr-ontario.ca/rules-codes/
  • ADRIO also publishes two policy documents of its own, titled "ADRIO's Statement Re: Zero Tolerance for Unacceptable Behaviour" and "ADRIO Policy Statement on Conduct & Communication", plus a "Complaints Policy". Source: https://adr-ontario.ca/rules-codes/
  • ADR Chambers is a private dispute-resolution firm, not a professional body. Its own about page: "For more than 30 years, ADR Chambers, the renowned arbitration mediation firm, has provided conflict resolution services across Canada and internationally." Its rules define "'ADR Chambers' means ADR Chambers Inc." Source: https://adrchambers.com/about-adr-chambers/
  • ADR Chambers does publish its own rule sets. The exact titles are "ADR Chambers Arbitration Rules", "ADR Chambers Mediation Rules" and "ADR Chambers Expedited Arbitration Rules". Source: https://adrchambers.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Mediation-Rules.pdf
  • The current ADR Chambers Arbitration Rules are stamped "These Rules are Effective February 10, 2026 and are Subject to Change Without Notice." The website also links three superseded versions (June 3 2025 – February 9 2026; June 1 2024 to June 2 2025; September 10 2013 to May 31 2024). Source: https://adrchambers.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Revised-ADRC-Arbitration-Rules-Feb-10-2026.pdf
  • The ADR Chambers Arbitration Rules are self-amending without notice: "These Rules may be amended by ADR Chambers in its sole discretion. Amendments become effective when they are posted to the ADR Chambers website." Any citation to a specific edition should therefore carry a retrieval date. Source: https://adrchambers.com/arbitration/rules/
  • ADR Chambers is itself inconsistent about the arbitration rules' name: on a single model-clauses page it writes both "the general ADR Chambers Rules for Arbitration" and "the ADR Chambers Arbitration Rules". The rules document's own definition uses "ADR Chambers Arbitration Rules". Source: https://adrchambers.com/mediation-model-clause/
  • The ADR Chambers Arbitration Rules contain a med-arb regime internally, spelled "Med-Arb" in the definitions and "Med/Arb" in the table of contents heading 13; the definition reads "a process by which the Parties agree to first submit their dispute to mediation and, in the event that the dispute does not fully settle at mediation, to an arbitration in accordance with these Rules, where the arbitrator will be the same individual as the mediator." Source: https://adrchambers.com/arbitration/rules/
  • ADR Chambers offers a distinct "Neutral Evaluation" service — its own name for it does not include the word "Early" — and publishes "Neutral Evaluation Rules (PDF)" and a "Neutral Evaluation Sample Agreement (PDF)". Source: https://adrchambers.com/neutral-evaluation/
  • ADR Chambers offers dispute-system design under the name "ADR Systems Design": "ADR Chambers offers dispute resolution systems design consultation services." Source: https://adrchambers.com/adr-systems-design/
  • ADR Chambers International ("ADRCI") is a separate, differently-named entity with its own site and its own arbitration and mediation rules, built on the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules. It must not be conflated with ADR Chambers Inc. Source: https://adrchambersinternational.com/
  • ADRIC does name dispute-system design as a service it provides: "ADRIC also provides dispute resolution services such as ADR systems design, roster development, training and certification , and issues publications for practitioners, parties and counsel." Source: https://adric.ca/services/
  • ADRIC's dispute-system-design service has a formal page title: "Custom ADR Systems and Roster Development" (the site nav renders it "Custom ADR Systems and Rosters Development"), covering systems development, roster selection and roster management. Source: https://adric.ca/services/custom-adr-systems-rosters/
  • ADRIC publishes two practitioner manuals, titled "The ADRIC Arbitration Practice Handbook" and "The ADRIC Commercial Mediation Practice Handbook". Source: https://adric.ca/adric-professional-practice-manuals/
  • The only ADRIC-hosted document found mentioning early neutral evaluation is its sponsored professional-liability insurance brochure, which lists "Early Neutral Evaluation" and "ADR Systems Design / Implementation and/or Management" among insurable ADR activities. This is a schedule of coverage, not a rule set, standard or designation, and the brochure's own PDF creation date is 2016.

What this does NOT establish

Read this section before writing copy. It is the half that keeps a page honest, and on this project it is the half that has twice been skipped.

  • Does ADRIC publish anything about EARLY NEUTRAL EVALUATION as a recognised neutral service — rules, standards, a designation, or a definitional page?
    • Searched: WebSearch for 'adric.ca "early neutral evaluation" ADR Institute of Canada' (which surfaced https://adric.ca/ufaqs/what-is-early-neutral-evaluation/); direct curl of that URL; direct curl of https://adric.ca/ufaqs/; ADRIC's own site search at https://adric.ca/?s=early+neutral+evaluation; a grep for 'neutral evaluation' across the extracted text of all 20+ ADRIC and ADRIO pages fetched; a grep for 'neutral evaluation' through the full text of the 42-page ADRIC Arbitration Rules 2025 PDF.
    • Outcome: NOT ESTABLISHED — and the search-result page is dead. https://adric.ca/ufaqs/what-is-early-neutral-evaluation/ returns HTTP 404 and https://adric.ca/ufaqs/ returns HTTP 404 (both verified by curl reading the status code, stderr not suppressed). ADRIC's own site search returns only loosely-matching journal articles, no ENE page. 'Neutral evaluation' appears nowhere in ADRIC's rules, codes, designations or services pages. The ONLY ADRIC-hosted artefact naming it is the insurance brochure listed in sources — a schedule of insurable activities, roughly a decade old. Do NOT write that ADRIC recognises, defines, or publishes on early neutral evaluation. ADR Chambers, by contrast, does offer it (as 'Neutral Evaluation', without 'Early') and does publish Neutral Evaluation Rules.
  • Is there a separately published rule set titled 'Simplified Arbitration Rules of the ADR Institute of Canada, Inc.'? ADRIC's own model arbitration clause offers it as an alternative.
    • Searched: The model clause text on https://adric.ca/rules-codes/arbrules/ and on page 1 of the 2025 Rules PDF; a case-insensitive grep for 'simplified' and 'expedited' through the full 42-page 2025 Rules PDF; a grep of the arbrules page HTML for any href containing 'simplified' (exit status 1 — no match); ADRIC site search at https://adric.ca/?s=Simplified+Arbitration+Rules; speculative curl of https://adric.ca/rules/ADRIC-Simplified-Arbitration-Rules-2025.pdf and https://adric.ca/rules-codes/simplified-arbitration-rules/.
    • Outcome: NOT ESTABLISHED — both speculative URLs returned HTTP 404, the arbrules page links no such document, and the site search surfaced only articles. What actually exists is Rule 6.2 INSIDE the ADRIC Arbitration Rules, headed 'EXPEDITED/SIMPLIFIED ARBITRATION PROCEDURE', plus 'Appendix R2' and a 'SAMPLE EXPEDITED/SIMPLIFIED PROCEDURE'. Treat 'Simplified Arbitration Rules' as a phrase in ADRIC's model clause, not as the title of a document you can cite or link. If copy needs to mention it, say it is a procedure within the ADRIC Arbitration Rules.
  • What is the current effective date or edition of the ADRIC National Mediation Rules?
    • Searched: https://adric.ca/rules-codes/national-mediation-rules/ page text and HTML (no effective-date string present); every PDF link on that page; the linked rules PDF at https://adric.ca/pdf/ADRMEDIATIONRULES2014.pdf — pdfinfo metadata and pdftotext of pages 1–6 and 20–22.
    • Outcome: NOT ESTABLISHED as a current-edition date. The page publishes no effective date. The PDF's own footers read 'As amended August 3, 2012'; its filename says 2014; its PDF metadata Title is 'ADR MEDIATION RULES 2011 Cover.p65' with a CreationDate of 24 Feb 2014. Three different years attach to one artefact. The page states the rules are under review by the ADRIC Mediation Committee as of 2025 and that the existing rules remain in effect. Recommendation: name the rules, do not date them.
  • Does ADRIC publish a code of conduct for ARBITRATORS, parallel to its Code of Conduct for Mediators?
    • Searched: https://adric.ca/rules-codes/ (full Rules & Codes index, nav and cards), https://adric.ca/ethics-professional-practice/, https://adric.ca/rules-codes/code-of-conduct/ (full text) and https://adric.ca/rules-codes/code-of-ethics/ (full text); the table of contents of the National Mediation Rules booklet PDF.
    • Outcome: NOT ESTABLISHED — no arbitrator-specific code of conduct was found. ADRIC's own framing is consistently two documents: 'a Code of Conduct for Mediators and a National Code of Ethics'. The Code of Ethics is the instrument that covers arbitrators ('the integrity and fairness of the arbitration and mediation processes'; 'the office of arbitrator or mediator'). Do not write that ADRIC has a code of conduct for arbitrators. The 2025 Arbitration Rules do carry their own conflicts-disclosure standards and a 'Standard statement of arbitrator independence and impartiality', which is a different thing from a code of conduct.
  • Which single string is 'correct' for the chartered med-arb designation, given ADRIC uses more than one?
    • Searched: All ADRIC designation pages plus the Med-Arb Rules page and the site-wide nav; all five ADRIO designation pages; raw-HTML inspection of the designation list markup to confirm the dash character.
    • Outcome: PARTIALLY ESTABLISHED, with a caution. 'Chartered Mediator-Arbitrator' is WRONG and appears nowhere — that much is settled. But ADRIC uses TWO forms of the correct name: 'Chartered Med-Arbitrator' (designation list, site nav) and 'Chartered Med-Arb' (that designation page's own heading, its criteria, and the Med-Arb Rules page). ADRIO uses 'Chartered Med-Arbitrator (C.Med-Arb)' only. Recommendation for copy: 'Chartered Med-Arbitrator (C.Med-Arb)' — the form both institutions share and the only one ADRIO uses. The separator in ADRIC's list is an EN DASH (raw HTML '–'), not a hyphen; the abbreviation 'C.Med-Arb' takes a hyphen.
  • The cover/front-matter title of the ADRIC Code of Conduct for Mediators as a standalone PDF.
    • Searched: curl of https://adric.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Code-of-Conduct-for-Mediators.pdf (HTTP 200, 779,235 bytes, 3 pages); pdftotext with -layout over pages 1-2 and over the whole file.
    • Outcome: NOT ESTABLISHED from that PDF — pdftotext returned zero characters at exit 0, i.e. the file is a scanned image with no text layer. The title is nevertheless established from two other fetched artefacts: the HTML page renders the heading 'CODE OF CONDUCT FOR MEDIATORS' and the opening sentence 'This Code of Conduct for Mediators (the "Code")...', and the National Mediation Rules booklet's contents page carries 'ADR INSTITUTE OF CANADA, INC. / CODE OF CONDUCT FOR MEDIATORS'.
  • Whether ADR Chambers publishes rules for its med-arb service, under a distinct title.
    • Searched: curl of https://adrchambers.com/med-arb/ (HTTP 404); the ADR Chambers Arbitration Rules page and PDF; the model-clauses page; the sidebar link inventory on the mediation, arbitration and expedited-arbitration pages.
    • Outcome: NOT ESTABLISHED as a separate document. Med-arb at ADR Chambers is governed INSIDE the ADR Chambers Arbitration Rules (Rule 13, 'Med/Arb', with 'Med-Arb', 'Med-Arb Agreement' and 'Notice of Request for Med-Arb' all defined in Rule 1.1), and the firm links a 'Notice of Request for Med-Arb' form. There is no standalone 'ADR Chambers Med-Arb Rules'. Note the firm's service menu spells it 'Med/Arb' while the rules text spells it 'Med-Arb'.
  • A WebFetch-based read of adric.ca, per the instructed method.
    • Searched: WebFetch of https://adric.ca/rules-codes/.
    • Outcome: BLOCKED — WebFetch returned HTTP 403 Forbidden with no body (adric.ca appears to filter by user agent). All ADRIC content in this report was therefore fetched with curl -sSL through Bash, reading the HTTP status code and curl exit status on every request, with stderr NOT suppressed. adr-ontario.ca and adrchambers.com fetched cleanly the same way. HTML was converted to text with the repository's committed extractor at /Users/pouya/Dev/Websites/adr-sml/docs/reference/adrio-extract/extract.mjs, and PDFs with /opt/homebrew/bin/pdftotext -layout.
