Only 73 days remain, and the rule requires an actual submitted specification documented by OCP; a workstream, roadmap, draft discussion, or partner announcement fails. AI-photonics urgency and the possibility of repurposing existing member work support a year-end submission. However, consensus, intellectual-property review, and OCP governance can readily push a first specification into 2027. The forecaster’s networking base rate is only 0.346, and no qualifying document appears in the supplied evidence. I therefore discount the earlier 0.61 forecast.
