How the desk reads a regime
The desk reads a regime by which instrument is doing the work, not by the statute’s title. A licence-required item control and an entity listing produce different incidence even when they name the same technology, because one is a conditional gate and the other is a flat prohibition.
Decision time, trailing
Not recorded — no wired quarterly decision-time series backs a trailing chart here.
DirectA company named in an item control or an entity listing carries direct exposure.
DirectA company whose product is the named item, regardless of who buys it.
DerivedA company whose supplier is directly exposed carries derived exposure one tier down.
DerivedA company whose customer is directly exposed carries derived exposure through demand, not through the rule.

What changed without a rule
Some of the tightening in this regime never passed as a rule. A filing withdrawn before a decision, a conditional approval with new conditions attached, or a re-filing under a different category all change the regime’s throughput without ever showing up as a new instrument.
Withdrawn before decisionThe applicant pulled the filing rather than receive a refusal on the record.
Conditions attachedAn approval that is not the approval that was requested.
Re-filingsThe same request, filed again under a category with a different queue.
