Carry the authorization file per model — the grant, the test lab, the responsible party, the US agent — and watch the lists that can re-open a certification already signed.
A grant is filed, and 47 CFR 2.911(d)(5) fixes what the applicant certified on that date.
02
A listing changes afterwards, and 2.911(d)(6) forces a new written and signed certification.
Reason
03
A listing lands in a PSHSB Public Notice; the FCC Covered List webpage served a September 2024 page.
04
A category listing reaches foreign-produced routers, prohibited by default since DA 26-278.
05
A prohibited-entity check reads every list FCC 25-27 names, each published elsewhere on its own cadence.
Decide
06
A model on the SDoC route needs no signature; 47 CFR 2.1077(a)(3) still requires a US responsible party.
07
A company is sold or merged, and 47 CFR 2.909(e) passes responsible-party status to the new entity.
Out
08
A Cyber Trust Mark filing is voluntary, and 47 CFR Part 8, Subpart B is where its rules sit.
09
Execute write actions only inside the approval boundaries agreed during implementation.
→Product statement
The agent assembles the file and tracks the listings; a named person signs the certification under 47 CFR 2.911(d) and files it, and the applicant answers for it.

Automation boundaryAgent acts unaided
✓Assemble the authorization file for each model and each grant on record.
✓Read the PSHSB notices, not the Covered List webpage.
✓Check the designated US agent still resolves to a live address.
✓Draft the re-certification the moment a listing moves.
Nothing is certified or filed except by a named signer, inside the agreed boundaries.
Deciding an entity is not under prohibited control.

Saying whether Cyber Trust Mark submissions are open.
Changes to listing rules, checks or certification text.
Example output
One model, annotated
FCC 24-122 turned on a US agent mailbox closed since 2019, and the file is what a person signs from.

Which list moved, and when
DA 25-1086 listed foreign-produced UAS on 22 December 2025 and DA 26-786 added power inverters on 28 July 2026 — categories, not companies.
02Human review
What changed, and what did not
FCC 25-27 put the new certifications on TCBs, labs and accreditation bodies; the 2026 forfeiture maxima did not rise, per 91 FR 39613.

Evidence-linked improvement
What an unreconstructable file costs
The loop shuts when the stale list page is a regression case. That suite is what the next grant checked is measured against.
Improvement cycle · five stagesSwitchback — the path turns at Improve and returns at Learn
01Detect
Counsel-correction rate rises in one product line.
02Diagnose
The page that had said September 2024 for two years is read back against the notices until one cause remains.
03Improve
Any change goes out numbered, with the listings that caused it attached.
04Verify
One grant case still failing is enough to hold the release back.
05Learn
One case joins the suite, one line joins the listing record.
Learn → DetectThe return edge. The next grant is measured against a suite one case longer.

Next step · Electronics AI agent
Build an equipment authorization agent around a list that moves without notice.
Show us how a grant reaches you today and which list you read on 1 October. Under 47 CFR 2.911(d)(6) a named person at the applicant signs each new certification a Covered List change forces, and the file behind that signature is read back long afterwards.
