Reading the field against the rule.
Rote publishes rolling, aggregate studies that read publicly posted compliance artifacts against the regulation that governs them. Each study reports the field in aggregate, names no organization, and is reproducible through an open assessment skill. The same roster is re-read on a fixed cadence, so each study measures not just where the field stands but how it moves.
An aggregate, de-identified read of publicly posted 42 CFR Part 2 patient notices against the 2024 final rule. It measures how many posted notices carry the elements the rule requires, and re-reads the same set on a cadence so it tracks how the field moves. Every claim is about the posted notice, not any program's practices, and the read is reproducible through the open notice-assessment skill. The methodology is set; the first aggregate figures publish once citation review clears.
This is an active research program, not a one-off. Rote continues applying the same method, aggregate and reproducible, to the next widely posted compliance artifact as new studies come online.
- Aggregate only. Findings describe the field. No organization is named or made identifiable.
- About the artifact, not the practice. A study reads what a public document says against what the rule requires — never an assertion about how an organization operates.
- Open and reproducible. The assessment runs on a published, open-source skill. Anyone can re-run it against the same source.
- Rolling. The same sampling frame is re-read on a fixed cadence, so each release reports the delta as well as the level.
