How the status is set

Missing: section notification_date is absent or empty, or holds only placeholder text such as TBD or TBC.
Review: the section has fewer than 5 words, or a listed term does not appear (case-insensitive substring match).
Pass: none of the above. A pass means the check matched, nothing more.

MissingSection absent

The section key is missing or empty.

{
  "title": "Synthetic rule example",
  "type": "other",
  "sections": {}
}

ReviewThin section

Every listed term appears, but the section is shorter than 5 words.

{
  "title": "Synthetic rule example",
  "type": "other",
  "sections": {
    "notification_date": "date"
  }
}

PassSection that matches

This text passes and shows what the check measures: listed terms and length. It is not model disclosure wording and does not meet MiCAR.

{
  "title": "Synthetic rule example",
  "type": "other",
  "sections": {
    "notification_date": "Synthetic example naming date. This synthetic sentence only adds length and states no fact about any issuer or token."
  }
}

Limitations

Reads one section key, notification_date. Text elsewhere in the draft is not considered.
Matches words and counts length. It does not test accuracy, consistency with other sections or the point-level items of the cited Part.
Status and severity are fixed by the rule. A draft cannot waive or downgrade them.
