Public-information marks that tell someone what provision a venue actually makes for them. Grouped because they answer the same practical question from a user's side — 'can I use this place, and how?' — while indicating quite different provisions: physical access, assistive listening, captioning, description, interpretation, readable print. Mega Sprint 5 could not create this grouping because the catalogue held only one accessibility symbol; the hearing-loop symbol added in Sprint 6 is what made it real, and Sprint 14 took it from two members to twelve. Read the individual records for status: some of these are ISO-registered, some are published by a professional association with no legal force, and one is a private scheme. A symbol on a wall is a claim about provision, not proof of it.
