PROBLEM: Nokia launched its Autonomous Network Fabric on 18 June 2025: a unifying intelligence layer (telco-trained AI models/LLMs, observability, explainable AI, integrated security) spanning RAN, transport and core, aligned to TM Forum's autonomous-network framework toward Levels 4–5, with intent-driven operation — operators state outcomes such as SLA or energy targets, not configurations. TM Forum-commissioned research noted only ~4% of service providers had reached Level 4. There is no record of which networks align to which autonomy level, or what intent-based operation actually covers.
SOLUTION: An autonomous network fabric alignment record: every network's autonomy level, intent catalogue, and explainability coverage logged — so 'autonomous' is a measured level, not a marketing word.
EVIDENCE BASIS: DOCUMENTED for the launch — Nokia, 18 Jun 2025, corroborated by TM Forum coverage (intent-based design, Level 4/5 alignment, Google Cloud partnership). HPE's '70–80% of network tickets resolve without human intervention' (Oct 2026, via The Register) is REPORTED (executive claim, no independent audit); Nvidia's telco AI survey figures are REPORTED (analyst survey).
