Total solar eclipse over southern Spain and North Africa
none. An enabling event: a fixed date, a fixed corridor, and a population that must travel to it
What survived
3 openings cleared the prune, out of 4 generated. This is the number the evidence supports, not the number we would like to show.
01
Viewing that can move to the weather two days out
89/100
Demand lands where conditions turn out good, not where they were forecast good. Anyone with fixed capacity in one town carries the whole risk of a cloudy morning.
What would kill it
Forecast skill at 48 hours improves enough that a fixed site can be chosen reliably.
02
Tell a buyer whether the viewer in their hand is genuine
85/100
Counterfeits carry a standard number one digit out from the real one. The buyer cannot tell, and the marketplace recalls without naming the sellers.
What would kill it
A marketplace ships authenticated listings for the category, removing the need for an outside check.
03
Certified viewers, into the corridor before certified supply runs out
83/100
A safety need requires a certified product. Certified supply runs out before demand does, and what fills the gap is counterfeit.
What would kill it
A manufacturer commits capacity to this corridor early and publishes it, so the shortage never forms.
The same event, in one country
Everything above is the version that is true everywhere. Picking a country does not filter it. It loads a different analysis, with that country's own dates, its own competition and its own count of who is affected. Pick one to see where that country stands.
What history says
Drawn from the 5 precedents the corpus held when this derivation ran. How often each pattern was actually seen is on the card, because one sighting is not a rule.
The regulator spends the first cycle on education rather than punishment. One wrote a two year fine moratorium into the statute itself. Early fines are a bad predictor of whether a regime has teeth.

Duties phase in over years and the audit is always last. Registration comes first, implementation next, and verification a year or two after that.
Seen twice. Not yet a rule. · be-nis2-2024, pl-nis2-2026
Where a duty requires something certified, the certified supply runs out before the demand does. What fills the gap is uncertified: a self-declaration, or a counterfeit carrying a standard number one digit out from the real one.
Seen twice. Not yet a rule. · be-nis2-2024, us-eclipse-2024
The supervised population multiplies several times over when the new regime replaces the old one, so the regulator inherits far more entities than it has ever overseen.
Seen once. This is an instance, not a pattern. · nl-nis2-2026
Official visitor forecasts miss by an order of magnitude in both directions. Planning to the published forecast is the main way operators lose money on a dated event.

Accommodation inside the affected corridor multiplies several times over and fills weeks ahead, so the constraint on visitors becomes beds rather than interest.

When a regulator offers a choice between a light national framework and a heavier international standard, most firms take the lighter one.
Seen once. This is an instance, not a pattern. · be-nis2-2024
For an event whose value depends on conditions on the day, demand lands where the conditions turn out good, not where they were predicted good. Fixed capacity in one location carries the whole risk.
Seen once. This is an instance, not a pattern. · us-eclipse-2024
Certification at the top tier lags the lower tiers, so the entities under the strictest duty are the last able to discharge it.
Seen once. This is an instance, not a pattern. · be-nis2-2024
Most of the population misses the registration deadline. Well under half had registered when the date passed, and the regulator moved to notices rather than penalties.

What we measured, and what we could not
Question
Answer
How many are affected
A source exists and we have not read it yet. Named in the registry, so you can check that we go back.
Is anyone already doing this
Nobody counts this. No source measures it for an event whose buyers are consumer, which means no competitor can see it either. Unmeasured and unserved travel together.
What it sold for
A source exists and we have not read it yet. Named in the registry, so you can check that we go back.
