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.

Qualitative signpost review · no probability assigned

Bounded observation

India's Digital India BHASHINI Division reports that its national language DPI powers more than 800 government websites, processes over 15 million inferences daily and supports 36 Indian text and 23 Indian voice languages; a 2026 ministry agreement commits the parties to enabling and developing domain-specific AYUSH models, glossaries and datasets. Public-sector deployment of the base platform is operational, while the AYUSH extensions and comparative local-task or community-benefit outcomes are not yet demonstrated.

Trigger threshold

Observed threshold is a nationally governed language-AI platform with disclosed recurring production inference, multi-language public-service deployment and an active domain-specific data/model program.

Counter-indicator

Operator-reported sites and inferences do not show benchmark superiority, service completion, dialect fairness, corpus authorization, community review or sustainable funding.

Update criterion

Track audited task benchmarks, public-service completion and error rates, corpus rights and community review by language; downgrade to emerging if reported production cannot be independently reconciled or local outcomes fail.
