Audit Report

Audit Purpose

This document records the formal audit of the Robotaxi Reference Framework following the frozen website and repository release.

Its purpose is to:

  • document the factual state at release
  • validate methodological consistency
  • confirm source integrity
  • establish an auditable baseline for future comparisons

This is not an evaluative or promotional document.

Audit Scope

The audit covers:

  • the public website (Robotaxi.de)
  • the corresponding GitHub repository
  • all documents included in Release 1.0.0

Specifically reviewed:

  • content structure
  • metadata and structured data (JSON-LD)
  • source alignment
  • scope and methodology adherence
  • vendor-neutrality
  • release consistency

Release Information

  • Release ID: 1.0.0
  • Freeze Date: 2026-02-03
  • Website Relaunch Window: 2026-02-06 to 2026-02-08
  • Audit Date: 2026-02-08

This audit refers exclusively to this release state.

Content Inventory (Website)

Indexable pages verified:

  • /
  • /definition/
  • /technologie/
  • /regulierung-ethik/
  • /risiken-grenzen/
  • /markt-wettbewerb/
  • /nutzen/
  • /soziooekonomische-transformation/
  • /perspektiven/

  • /datenschutz/

All pages:

  • return HTTP 200
  • use self-referencing canonical URLs
  • are indexable (index, follow)
  • declare language consistently (de)

Structured Data Verification

Global Model

Confirmed entities:

  • WebSite
  • WebPage (per page)

Consistent across all pages:

  • stable @id usage
  • no misuse of Article or BlogPosting
  • no self-referential mainEntityOfPage
  • no contradictory publisher or author signals

Breadcrumbs, FAQPage and sitelinks search box:

  • intentionally not implemented
  • consistent with frozen reference strategy

Source Integrity Check

All sources listed in SOURCES.md were verified:

  • URLs point exclusively to official publishers or regulators
  • No mirrors or secondary aggregators
  • Version numbers correspond to stated publication versions
  • Source categories match website /quellen/ structure

Vendor references:

  • explicitly labeled as illustrative
  • non-exclusive
  • mirrored consistently between website and repository

No unauthorized or undocumented sources detected.

Methodology Compliance

All audited content conforms to METHODOLOGY.md:

  • system-level perspective maintained
  • no prescriptive or advisory language
  • uncertainty explicitly acknowledged
  • no speculative timelines or forecasts
  • evidence hierarchy respected

No deviations identified.

Scope Compliance

All content falls strictly within the boundaries defined in SCOPE.md.

Explicit exclusions observed:

  • no vendor rankings
  • no product comparisons
  • no investment or implementation guidance
  • no proprietary or non-public material

No scope drift detected.

E-E-A-T Signals

Verified signals:

  • clear editorial responsibility (Impressum)
  • transparent methodology and scope
  • explicit source policy
  • stable release identification
  • vendor-neutral positioning
  • consistent tone and authorship

No misleading authority signals identified.

Release Consistency

Release information verified as consistent across:

  • website footer
  • repository documents
  • metadata references

No mismatches detected between website and repository state.

Known Limitations

The following limitations are acknowledged and intentional:

  • no continuous updates between releases
  • no inclusion of post-freeze developments
  • no real-time data integration
  • no performance or ranking guarantees

These limitations align with the frozen reference model.

Audit Result

Status: PASS

The Robotaxi Reference Framework:

  • meets its stated methodological objectives
  • conforms to its defined scope
  • maintains source integrity
  • is internally consistent
  • is audit-ready for future releases

This document establishes the baseline audit state for all subsequent release comparisons.

Change Discipline

Any future audit must:

  • reference this document
  • state differences explicitly
  • identify affected documents or pages
  • declare assumptions clearly

Final Statement

This audit confirms that Release 1.0.0 is factually coherent, methodologically sound and suitable as a long-term reference baseline.
