  AEMC makes no conformance or compliance claims for the Energy Rules API — it does not document the
  API at all. Every assertion below is derived from observed behaviour. No Compliance pointer is
  emitted because AEMC publishes no certifications or compliance programme.

  conforms: false
  evidence: 'Errors return {"message":"Not found"} as application/json, not application/problem+json.'
