Company and Firm Guidance Receives Interim Addendum
An interim addendum clarifies company and firm usage while the conglomerate review remains open.

The addendum retains company as the default and permits firm in selected contexts. Enterprise remains available where a sentence would otherwise become a terminology decision. The Council has scheduled a review of whether the interim addendum needs its own expiry condition.
