This feed asserts what schemes operate — never their efficacy, and never any conclusion about the origin or legitimacy of any country's mineral exports. Partnership statuses are stated as dated milestones, not verdicts.",
 "known_limits": "National-scheme entries name the administering body where verified; where no distinct government tagging system beyond KP could be verified, none is asserted. The seven ICGLR members outside the four active-RCM states are recorded member-not-operational (membership confirmed; active certificate issuance not confirmed). Ghana's GoldBod is a 2025 pilot in deployment, not full national coverage. State gold purchasing/marketing bodies (e.g. ANEEMAS Burkina Faso, NBE Ethiopia) are trade channels, not mine-to-export traceability, and are deliberately not recorded as schemes.",
