- intervalRevised: the validity span was corrected on better information
- situationClosed: the state ceased to hold and the interval was sealed
- situationBackdated: a state was recorded retroactively with an earlier begin

Standards and interfaces required Derived, awaiting review
- statusAttestationContract: the subject's owner attests the current status to a named relying party
- monitoringSubscription: a consumer is notified on transitions of situations it is entitled to see
- historyAccessGrant: owner-granted access to the full transition history of a situation
- currentStateProjection: the latest status per subject only; omits history and triggering evidence
- stateHistoryProjection: the full ledger of transitions with triggers; omits unrelated subjects entirely
- statusBadgeProjection: a single flag or grade for display; omits everything else
Context of use required Filled
- Attestations, monitoring and history access are all granted by that owner through S2, and every transition is auditable via S4.
