Protocol: CT.gov Strict-Core Black-Box

This protocol isolates the strict U.S.-nexus drug-biological-device proxy and reads its black-box subset rather than its broader missing-results stock alone. Primary outputs compare named-sponsor black-box stock, sponsor-class black-box stock, black-box rates, and class no-results rates inside the proxy core. The aim is to identify where the deepest registry-visible silence persists inside the regulated-looking subset. Because the subset is proxy-defined, the outputs should not be read as formal ACT or FDAAA legal determinations.
