The framework at a glance
One A4 page carrying the version, the eight domains, the four levels, the overlays and extensions, the statement counts, the citation and the licence. Built from the same collection as the specification, so it cannot drift from it.
This is the page to put in a slide deck or a briefing pack. If we did not publish it, someone would make their own and get a number wrong.
