Gaps the research left open

3Shown as gaps, never filled in by guesswork. Supplement 1 (the second pass) closed some; they are listed below.

ADIO and AI.GM pages carry no dates, names, budgets or partner organisations; the Global AI Cities Summit date and the AI Challenge Prize details were not found. The Digitober page still describes 2025. — Partly closed (Supplement 1): Project pages give statuses, June 2026 update dates, timelines and collaborators (GOV-LOC-GMCA-010 to 014; S1 GOV-LOC-GMCA-001). Still no head, budget or ADIO start month. AI.GM page re-read: still undated, no summit date, no AI Challenge Prize details.
The LGA case study "Manchester City Council: People's Panel for AI" (https://www.local.gov.uk/case-studies/manchester-city-council-peoples-panel-ai-building-skills-confidence-and-residents) failed to load. Manchester's current AI policy (after the 2023 briefing) was not found.
No ATRS records for any Greater Manchester council. No AI activity found for Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Stockport or Trafford.

Closed by Supplement 1 (1)
