Notice date:
Duty-Recorded Tobacco in Sri Lanka: Production, Taxation and the Limits of Industry Claims
The first methodology 1.1 edition adds Treasury 2025 product production and revenue-code reconciliation, CTC 2025 turnover and tax bridges, and unaudited first-half 2026 counterevidence. It separates duty-recorded supply, issuer accruals, survey prevalence and illicit-trade methods. Unsupported forecasts, market shares, scores and corporate strategy removed in August remain excluded; the original publication date, provenance and historical anchors are preserved.
-
Notice date:
Recorded Alcoholic Beverages in Sri Lanka: Supply, Excise and the Limits of the Market Evidence
The first methodology 1.1 edition adds product-specific recorded production, 2025 fiscal accounts and partial-year 2026 receipts, reconciles 2024 export relief and preserves conflicting source statements. It corrects the beer strength boundary in a Treasury summary using the operative notification. Earlier removals of unsupported market sizes, shares, scores and investment scenarios remain in force; the original publication date, provenance and historical anchors are retained.
-
Notice date:
Sri Lanka's Advertising Services: Activity Boundaries, Historical Scale and Delivery Requirements
Adds DCS reference-2016/2018 reproduction, service and buyer maps; bounds the national-data search and legal-status claims while retaining prior arithmetic, VAT and unsupported-company-prescription corrections.
-
Notice date:
Sri Lanka’s Apparel Exports: Weaker Trade and Distinct Product Boundaries
Withdrawn the unproven description of the EDB 2025 export total as narrower than CBSL. The USD 404.95 million difference remains unexplained; the historical 2024 difference is also retained. Earlier withdrawals of unsupported employment, certification, ratification and numerical Five Forces claims remain in force.
-
Notice date:
Sri Lanka's Dairy Sector in 2026: Conflicting Output Baselines, Product Trade and Collection Constraints
Added the materially different DAPH milk-production series beside DCS figures, replacing the earlier unqualified single national baseline. Retained the production discrepancy and trade residuals without inferring self-sufficiency.
-
Notice date:
Sri Lanka's FMCG Sector in 2026: A Defined Basket, Uneven Recovery and Distribution Economics
Defined the household-product basket and qualified the food-rule account to recognise the listed August implementation directive. Preserved the August 2026 withdrawal of unsupported market-size, growth, share and investment-return claims.
-
Notice date:
Sri Lanka's Media-Buying Market: Inventory, Service Fees and the Evidence Boundary
Adds the DCS reference-2018 benchmark, transaction and procurement analysis; replaces an absolute missing-data assertion with a bounded search result and preserves earlier withdrawals of unsupported size, share, margin and forecast claims.
-
Notice date:
Sri Lanka's Ride-Hailing Economy: Platform Scale and Regulatory Gaps
Corrected the incomplete statutory account by adding the National Transport Commission (Amendment) Act No. 8 of 2025, certified 19 June 2025. The earlier statement that no national ride-hailing-specific statute was identified omitted this relevant amendment. Implementation and provincial coverage remain qualified.
-
Notice date:
Sri Lanka's Tea Export Industry: Value, Concentration and Risk
Corrected the 13 August 2026 update's one-year Lion Logo validity and LKR5,000 fee statement using the dated 18 September 2023 superseding circular: three-year registration subject to annual surveillance and a LKR15,000 testing fee excluding VAT per specified pack/brand/SKU or family. Prior withdrawals of free certification, unsupported forecasts and company returns remain in force.
-
Notice date:
Sri Lanka's Renewable-Energy IPP Market: Grid, Procurement and Offtaker Risk
Corrected the blanket description of rooftop systems as behind consumer connections. Distinguished surplus-export schemes from the separate generation/export arrangements of Net Plus and Net Plus Plus, and added their 2025 CEB-network export quantities. This limited correction does not refresh the rest of the report's August 2026 evidence cut-off.
-
Notice date:
Sri Lanka Telecommunications Market Audit
Clarified that the advertised LKR 6,990 Dialog connection price does not specify its tax basis. Connection-inclusive expenditure illustrations assume no further connection tax; any additional charge would increase those totals. The arithmetic and monthly-rental ratios are unchanged.
-
Notice date:
Sri Lanka Telecommunications Market Audit
Corrected wording that treated regulatory audit and publication obligations as demonstrated practice, and distinguished traffic growth from capacity utilisation. Edition e03 also extends the monthly series, household comparison, distribution, customer alternatives and monitored outlook.
-
Notice date:
Sri Lanka Telecommunications Market Audit
Restored the existing conflict-of-interest declaration, which was omitted from the first methodology 1.1.0 release. The analysis and source evidence are unchanged.
-
Notice date:
Sri Lanka Television Market Audit
The August 2026 revision incorrectly stated that no current official digital-transition timetable had been found. A Cabinet briefing on the decision of 24 November 2025 specifies a 2029 project-completion target and analogue closure two years after completion. The corrected account distinguishes this announced schedule from verified delivery; it does not promise a fixed shutdown date.
-
Notice date:
OnmaxDT in Sri Lanka: Asset Restraint and the Unresolved Recovery Question
Corrected the Proceeds of Crime Act commencement citation from Gazette Extraordinary No. 2438/51 to No. 2438/24. The commencement date remains 1 June 2025.
-
Notice date:
AI-Assisted Inventions under US Patent Law: Who Counts as the Inventor?
The 2026 legal review materially replaced the original article. It removes unsupported patent statistics, company positions, economic claims and global generalisations, and corrects the reliance on the USPTO's February 2024 inventorship guidance, which the USPTO rescinded in its entirety in November 2025. The corrected article now distinguishes the Patent Act, the limited holding in Thaler v. Vidal, the Supreme Court's non-merits denial of review, current USPTO examination guidance and author interpretation.
-
Notice date:
Chinese Leadership Traditions: Confucian, Daoist and Fa Perspectives
The 2026 evidence review materially replaced and consolidated the eight-part legacy series. It removed unverifiable or mismatched references, unsupported claims that ancient traditions produce modern organisational outcomes, and an unvalidated three-part integration model. The corrected article now distinguishes primary texts and translations from historical scholarship, bounded empirical studies, current governance instruments and author interpretation, while retaining the canonical source fragments and source-specific merge anchors for transparent migration.
-
Notice date:
Duty-Recorded Tobacco in Sri Lanka: Production, Taxation and the Limits of Industry Claims
The 2026 evidence review materially replaced unsupported commercial claims in the original publication, including market-size and growth forecasts, market-share assertions, competitive-force scoring, illicit-trade estimates presented without methodological distinction, investment framing and company strategy recommendations. The corrected report uses public-health, official survey, legal and fiscal evidence and labels historical estimates and company disclosures by source and scope.
-
Notice date:
ESG and the Triple Bottom Line: Standards, Materiality and Evidence Limits
The 2026 evidence review replaced unsupported claims about financial returns, competitive advantage, regional practice and company performance, and removed invented five-year targets for a hypothetical manufacturer. It recast the article around current standards, legal status, materiality and evidence limits, including the status of the revised ESRS adopted in July 2026 but not yet in force at the evidence cut-off.
-
Notice date:
Investment Appraisal Practice: Payback, NPV and IRR
The 2026 migration consolidated eleven short exercises into one practice set, recalculated payback, NPV and IRR using explicit assumptions, corrected the variable-rate treatment in Exercise 02, resolved conflicting discount-rate instructions in Exercises 03 and 05, removed unsupported ARR results, and separated ambiguous residual values from the base cash-flow analysis.
-
Notice date:
Recorded Alcoholic Beverages in Sri Lanka: Supply, Excise and the Limits of the Market Evidence
The 2026 evidence review materially replaced the original commercial market report, including unsupported market-size and growth forecasts, market-share claims, numerical competitive scoring, scenario probabilities and company-specific investment recommendations. The corrected report is based on official public-health, fiscal, regulatory and audit evidence and labels modelled estimates and institutional claims separately from observed facts.
-
Notice date:
Sri Lanka’s Central Cultural Fund Investigation: Audits, Allegations and the LKR 11 Billion Claim
The 2026 review materially replaces the legacy investigation. It corrects the itemised allegation from LKR 11.509 billion to the reported LKR 11.059 billion, restores the LKR 2.266 billion Archaeological Trust figure, separates the LKR 400 million election-period allegation because its relationship to the LKR 2.608 billion category is unresolved, identifies an internal LKR 10 million inconsistency in the special audit's Sisu Daham Sevana figures, rebuilds broken claim-level citations, limits the meaning of the 2018 and 2019 audit disclaimers, corrects the title of the 2025 committee chair from retired Supreme Court Judge to retired High Court Judge, adds later parliamentary and inquiry developments, and distinguishes official findings, reported allegations, responses and author interpretation.
-
Notice date:
Sri Lanka's Dairy Sector in 2026: Conflicting Output Baselines, Product Trade and Collection Constraints
The 2026 evidence review replaced unsupported claims from the original publication, including market-size forecasts, numerical competitive scoring and investment-return projections, because those claims could not be supported by sufficiently auditable evidence.
