What .auDO observes

Status values returned by the public source

.auDO records the status set returned through RDAP and compares visible changes between observations. The source relationship remains explicit because availability and representation can affect the result.

Why it is observed

Status changes add registration lifecycle context

Why it matters

Status values can help explain visible registration lifecycle and administrative conditions at the registry or registrar layer.

What visible change may mean

A change may reflect normal lifecycle events, registrar actions, registry processes, administrative updates or source availability differences.

Interpretation limits

Status requires context

A status value should not be interpreted in isolation. It does not establish intent, organisational quality or private operational circumstances.
