  x-guidance: Use /api/v1/registration-scope-preflight for a new or proposed England provider when registration scope or regulated activities are uncertain. Use /api/v1/statutory-notification-preflight for an already-operating or registered provider when an incident may require CQC notification. Provide the facts requested by each schema; the service returns deterministic evidence-linked preflight output and fails closed on stale or incomplete evidence.
