    ## Per-page social previews and this changelog
    
    Every jurisdiction, pair comparison, and control checklist now renders its own Open Graph preview image, so links shared on LinkedIn and Slack show the actual page title and stats. This changelog and an RSS feed at /rss.xml track updates going forward.

2.  2026-07-22Update Comparison 
    
    ## Cybersecurity depth pass across all 16 mapped jurisdictions
    
    Added a 'defaultEvidence' line to every one of the 24 existing control dimensions and appended five new ones: SBOM format/VEX cadence, recognized standards, cryptographic regime, vulnerability-disclosure clock, and AI/ML-specific expectations. Surfaced in the matrix tooltips, the pair checklist, and the CSV export.

3.  2026-07-20Feature 
    
    ## Start-here onboarding, persistent context bar, shareable planner
    
    Three-question guided router on the homepage seeds a saved context (target markets, risk class, intent) that persists across visits. The Planner now round-trips its full state through the URL so you can share a roadmap link with a colleague.

4.  2026-07-16Regulator 
    
    ## Taiwan TFDA, Thai FDA, and SAHPRA (South Africa) added
    
    Three new jurisdiction profiles: Taiwan (TFDA), Thailand (Thai FDA), and South Africa (SAHPRA), each with pre-market, SBOM, CVD, post-market, and penalties mapped against the FDA baseline. Also refreshed EU CRA timelines, UK MHRA CE-recognition posture, and Korea's Digital Medical Products Act.

5.  2026-07-10Feature Comparison 
    
    ## Pair checklist pages with per-row regulatory citations
    
    New /compare/checklist/:a/:b route shows a control-by-control side-by-side against the FDA baseline with a 'differences only' toggle, deep-link back into each playbook, and a CSV export. Every matrix row now carries a citation chip linking to the exact FDA/EU/UK/Korea section used to populate it.

6.  2026-07-01Update Guidance 
    
    ## Per-jurisdiction 'How to submit' playbooks
    
    Long-form submission playbooks on every standard page: how to submit, evidence checklist, common rejections, and typical timeline. HowTo JSON-LD is emitted per jurisdiction for search.
    
    [See it in the app](/playbook)
7.  2026-06-20Feature 
    
    ## Diligence ranking and Innovator Journey Planner
    
    New /planner wizard sequences a multi-market submission plan using a transparent multi-factor fit score. The Compare page adds a diligence ranking tab computing a 0-100 rigor score per jurisdiction with a factor-by-factor breakdown.

8.  2026-06-10Guidance Regulator 
    
    ## FDA Feb 3, 2026 final guidance parsed into the FDA profile
    
    Updated the FDA entry to reflect the revised final guidance 'Quality Management System Considerations and Content of Premarket Submissions for Devices with Cybersecurity' (Feb 3, 2026), which supersedes the June 2025 version. Aligned with QMSR (21 CFR Part 820 / ISO 13485:2016).
