The implementation gap

Sixty of three hundred eighty-three fully implemented on the EPIC July 2026 tracker. Montaigne reads ~30 percent on 567, with a different method. Shown side by side. Never averaged.

EPIC ≠ Montaigne. Attributed trackers, not a ctg. audit. We do not re-score the observatory or Institut Montaigne.

Other attributed reads

From Il Foglio citing EPIC, and the commission line via the same piece. Not independent ctg. counts.

Energy fully completed

1 / 83

Il Foglio citing EPIC. Same observatory universe. Energy singled out as lagging.

Competition completed

0 / 7

Il Foglio citing EPIC. DG COMP portfolio in observatory scoring.

Compass flagships from Draghi

European Commission via Il Foglio. Flagship lineage is not full legal delivery.

Why the two trackers differ

EPIC scores 383 recommendations into binding EU law. Montaigne extracts 567 from part B and scores a broader legal path. A flagship slide can be true while a statute is not. Do not average.

Sector mix

July 2026 observatory sectors as published on draghiwatch. Space four-way cells were ambiguous in the public heatmap concatenation; we print the published combined share only.

Commission DG ranking

Lead directorate-general on the same July 2026 observatory scoring. DG ener is not the energy sector row above; assignments differ. DG comp is the 0 / 7.
