  "description": "Deterministic verification verdict for a Norwegian organisation, reduced from the same Tier 1 Brønnøysund facts the /context endpoint serves (no AI, no randomness — same input + same rulebook yields the same verdict). Surfaces all seven live signals (`is_active`, `has_signing_authority_defined`, `not_bankrupt`, `not_under_dissolution`, `not_forcibly_dissolved`, `mva_registered`, `has_filed_annual_accounts`); any signal stays `null` when its open-registry datum is genuinely unknown (never coerced to a boolean). The distress, MVA, and filing signals are surfaced for transparency only and do NOT change the verdict — it keys ONLY off `is_active` + `has_signing_authority_defined` (a distress state already forces `is_active: false` → fail).",
