What a signpost is How to read this page

A watched question with a line drawn in advance

The threshold was written before the observation existed. That is what stops a state from being argued into place after the fact.

Four states, no probabilities

Observed, emerging, contested, not observed. These are qualitative readings against the threshold. No number is invented here, because an invented number would be the most quotable and least true thing on the page.

It stays alive between revisions

The update condition names what would move the state. A signpost that has stayed quiet is information too, and is published rather than hidden.

Financial Interoperability without Absorption

Qualitative signpost review · no probability assigned

Bounded observation

BIS Project Agora demonstrated atomic settlement across currencies and jurisdictions in a prototype with more than 40 private-sector institutions and seven participating legal jurisdictions, while stating that further technical, operational and contractual work is needed and real-value testing would follow. Technical interoperability is advancing ahead of broad institutional absorption.

Trigger threshold

Move to observed when multiple production rails multiply while cross-ledger exceptions, manual reconciliation, provider concentration or non-portable redress remain material in measured operations despite technical interoperability.

Counter-indicator

Agora is one experimental prototype; it established legal feasibility in participating jurisdictions but did not report broad customer use, integration with production core systems or ongoing exception costs.

Update criterion

Review real-value tests, production integrations and CPMI harmonization metrics; upgrade only when operational fragmentation and adoption data coexist, and downgrade if portable finality, redress and reconciliation work across providers at scale.
