Region Stamp Definition

Stamp types and colors
| Type | Text | Contrast | Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| グローバル | グローバル(リージョン不問) |
blue on pale blue | all regions / nonregional |
| 日本リージョン未対応 | 日本リージョン未対応 |
red on pale red | neither Japan East nor West |
| Japan East のみ | 東日本のみ対応 |
green on pale green | Japan East only |
| Japan West のみ | 西日本のみ対応 |
green on pale green | Japan West only |
| Japan East / West 対応 | 東日本・西日本対応 |
green on pale green | both |
Use text as the primary signal; do not rely on small check/cross marks or color alone. For unsupported items, add a second line from reviewed evidence such as 対応地域例: East US、West Europeなど. Distinguish deploy-region limits from 販売対象: 米国のみ and region-expansion announcements from 今回の拡大に日本なし.
Placement
- Position: bottom-right of the slide
- Size: 180pt × 30pt (template-derived)
- Margin: 20pt from right, 20pt from bottom
- Font: 14pt, bold, white
Shape.Name: starts withRegionStamp- 🔴 De-dup: the template has 5 named sample stamps (
RegionStamp_JapanBothetc.). When applying, delete existing by prefix matchRegionStamp*then add the single correct one. Exact-match delete leaves the 5 samples overlapping under the MCP body-template duplication path.
🔴 Offer Availability vs Deploy Region (critical)
| Concept | Meaning | Use for region? |
|---|---|---|
| Offer Availability (purchasable countries) | where you can buy/contract the service | ❌ never |
| Deploy Region | where the resource is actually deployed | ✅ judge by this |
Watch: Azure AI Foundry / Azure OpenAI (judge by Hub/Project deploy region), Marketplace services (availability ≠ deploy region), Global Standard deployments (broad offer, limited deploy), Hybrid / migration management services (check data path & target constraints if the resource region is only control/metadata).
MCP verification steps: (1) search {service} region availability; (2) identify Offer vs Deploy;
(3) if only "Available in: Japan", search {service} supported regions; (4) if explicit deploy
regions are listed (e.g. East US 2, Sweden Central), judge by those; (5) microsoft_docs_search chunks
rarely carry the region table itself — microsoft_docs_fetch the top feature page (overview / deploy /
limitations) before deciding. A search whose snippets never say "Japan" is not a verdict.
For hardware- or VM-SKU-dependent features, when Learn delegates availability to the SKU catalog, query
both Japan regions with az vm list-skus --location <region> --resource-type virtualMachines --all.
Filter by the documented family, not a guessed SKU-name substring, and record quota/capacity as a separate runtime constraint.
⚠️ Past incident: an "Offer Availability includes Japan → グローバル" misjudgement; real Deploy Region was East US 2 / Sweden Central only = 日本リージョン未対応.
Judgement priority
- Web tool / portal feature / docs update (not region-specific) → グローバル. 0a. Hybrid / migration management service whose resource region is only control/metadata and whose data path / target storage does not block Japan use → グローバル.
- Retirement / 廃止 / サポート終了 → グローバル.
global: true→ グローバル.- Defined in
region_info_reviewed.json→ use that value (Review-verified). 4a. Feature doc exists and states no region limit (Preview or GA) → Japan East / West 対応; the parent service's Japan availability governs (sign-up may be required). 4b. Feature doc lists supported or unsupported regions → follow that list exactly. 4c. No feature doc at all (only the Azure Updates post) → do not stamp 未対応. Record【判定レベル: 根拠未取得】inevidenceand ask the requester how to display it. - GA with no region limit → グローバル.
- Unknown → escalate via 4c; never a silent 日本リージョン未対応.
🔴 未対応 needs positive evidence. Stamp 日本リージョン未対応 only when an official region list exists and Japan East / West are absent from it. "The page never mentions regions" is evidence of no restriction, not of no support.
⚠️ Measured 2026-08-19 (38-item deck): reading "public preview without an explicit Japan mention" as 未対応 produced 11 wrong stamps out of 16. Learn MCP fetch flipped Azure Firewall IPv6, NSP perimeter link, SQL MI zone redundancy, Key Vault symmetric keys, ANF oplocks, Storage Mover FSx, and Azure Monitor→Fabric mirroring to Japan East / West 対応. A false "unusable" costs more than "not verified".
An explicit unsupported-region list is complete negative evidence: when Microsoft Learn says the feature
is unavailable in the listed regions (for example, RegionNotEnabledForFeature) and Japan East / West are
not listed, treat those Japan regions as supported. Do not downgrade the feature to unknown merely because
the page uses an exclusion list instead of a supported-region list.
⚠️ Always go through Review-agent MCP verification. Never ship Prepare's initial judgement as-is.

Japan West のみ対応 / 日本リージョン未対応.
Optional display fields: displayHeadline, displayDetail. Require both plus a first-party source when an unsupported item needs examples or when offer availability / expansion scope must not be described as deploy-region support.
Required rules
- Review-agent verification mandatory (never ship Prepare's initial judgement).
- Investigate region via Microsoft Docs MCP (
microsoft_docs_search). - Check the "Limitations" section for "limited to".
- Record
sourceURL inregion_info_reviewed.json. evidencerequired (concrete wording of the basis).- No guessing and no reflexive fail-safe: 未対応 requires an official region list that excludes Japan East / West. With no feature doc at all, stop at 4c instead of stamping 未対応.
- A delivery fallback is a completed review, not a guess: inspect the feature overview plus one region, limitations, or what's-new source; record the checked URLs and the absent Japan evidence in
evidence, then setverified: true.verified: falseis interim and cannot ship. - Keep the raw slide title as the JSON key. At the COM boundary, normalize line breaks, vertical tabs, and whitespace only to resolve one unique key; reject ambiguous matches rather than silently using a partial title.
- Never let a fallback downgrade an entry that already has
verified: trueevidence. When evidence and stored status conflict, preserve the evidence, derivejapanEast/japanWest/statusfrom it, append a correction record, then verify the saved stamp and any positive Japan-region claim in body or notes. - Tag
evidencewith the judgement tier so a later reviewer can tell 未対応 from 未確認:【判定レベル: 公式リージョン一覧】/【判定レベル: リージョン限定記載なし】/【判定レベル: 根拠未取得】. - Region-expansion updates ("GA in {region}") stamped 日本リージョン未対応 read as "the service is unavailable in Japan". State in
evidencethat only this update's target regions exclude Japan and the service itself already ships there. - Per-feature region matrices can split within one service (Azure Databricks
feature-region-support:japaneast✓ /japanwestblank for Unity AI Gateway and Lakeflow Connect managed connectors). Read the exact feature column, not the service row. verified/source/evidencegates are presence checks only, so a green gate never proves semantic verification. Keep the per-item judgement inputs in an authored map (status+source+evidenceper update id) and generateregion_info_reviewed.jsonfrom it; a status-only map forces generic evidence text that hides guesses.
