As a baseline reference, the determination date for notification-deadline purposes is **July 15, 2024** — the date Palisade Digital Forensics, Inc. delivered its final forensic investigation report. All statutory clocks run from that date.

Catherine Wye's team is handling the EU-specific language adaptations.
