scrutica_entity_list_changes
What CHANGED in the BIS Entity List, as bounded change-log summaries. Backed by the same derivation the public /export-controls/changes page and its RSS feed render. PREFER this over scrutica_query_export_controls for freshness questions ("what changed this month", "latest additions", "recent removals"): designation rows arrive already grouped into per-Federal-Register-notice change events, so you do not re-derive notice grouping from citation strings. Each event includes: canonical FR citation and link, notice title / publication date / document number where the citation resolved to one FR document, a derived event date labeled with the source column it came from, entry / entity / address / removal counts (entry_count counts entries as the Register does: an entity under two destinations is two entries), per-country counts, a bounded sample of entity names, and the entities cross-referenced to compute-infrastructure organizations. Removal actions are returned separately as date-keyed events — a screening list maintained from additions alone over-blocks forever. Also returns a last-N-ISO-week activity rollup counting BOTH additions and removals. Zero-count weeks are a real quiet-Federal-Register signal, not missing data. Results are bounded summaries, never row dumps: at most 24 events per call (default 6, newest first), with any truncation declared in metadata. Cite totals from the count field and per-event entry_count, never by summing a sampled list. Do NOT use this to look up one entity's designation rows — use scrutica_query_export_controls (substring match on the published name). Use company_id here only to scope the log to notices touching an organization you already resolved. Authority tier: Federal-Register-anchored designations are Tier 1 (primary source). Each entry is dated by the effective date of the Federal Register notice that added it, the notice the Entity List's own eCFR citations for the entry resolve to (a removed record: the notice its entry was dated by while the Register printed it, else its own citation's notice), except where no citation resolves to a notice; the event date is derived (modal designation_date, falling back to modal effective_date) and labeled with its source.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Max change events to return (default 6, max 24), newest first. The count field always reports the full total in scope. At the Federal Register's Entity-List cadence the default already reaches back several months. | |
| weeks | No | ISO-week span of the activity rollup (default 8 — the change-log page's own window; max 52). | |
| company_id | No | Scope to change events touching one organization. Canonical Scrutica org ID ('org-<slug>'); the id space is the matched_org_id values in the BIS cross-reference, so designated entities without a compute-substrate cross-reference never appear under a scope. Kept events retain their full entity context. |
