Re: Scoring and Dashboards

I don't see any issues here by adding dates / time stamps to a conformance
claim.

- First of all for the specific conformance claim / report
- If other reports are included with another time stamp, mention it (also
the time stamp and which part it is)
- The responsibility is up to the "conformance claimer" if he chooses a
report to include but didn't check if it's still actual.

We only provide guidance for how to test and score and ask for time stamps.

How a tool vendor places it in a dashboard is totally up to the tool vendor.

Cheers!
Jake
