By ~2024-09-15, Moldova resolves the Transnistria secessionist situation (reintegration or definitive settlement).
Criterion ('Moldova resolves the Transnistria secessionist situation — reintegration or definitive settlement — by ~2024-09-15') was NOT met by the deadline. Transnistria remained a frozen, unresolved conflict; only economic-integration measures (customs duties, DCFTA inclusion) advanced, with a political reintegration plan still being drafted in late 2025/early 2026. The record is resolved (the predicted event did not occur within the window); outcome value assignment is for the later stage.

Evidence of what happened
Wikipedia 'Reintegration of Transnistria into Moldova' and multiple 2025-2026 analyses (OSW, Carnegie, Euromaidan Press): As of the deadline there was NO reintegration or definitive settlement of the Transnistria conflict — it remained an unresolved frozen conflict. A Moldovan reintegration plan ('Basic approaches in the process of the gradual reintegration of the Transnistrian region') was only drafted with EU/US partners in late 2025 and presented to Western partners in March 2026 — well AFTER the ~2024-09-15 deadline.
OSW Centre for Eastern Studies (2026-03-31): Moldova was still 'towards a plan' on Transnistria reintegration as of March 2026, abandoning the 5+2 format for a 1+1 format. Confirms no resolution/settlement existed by the 2024 deadline; the process was still at the planning stage nearly 18 months after the deadline.
Euromaidan Press (2025-12-04): 'Moldova drafting Transnistria reintegration plan with Western partners' — reporting the plan as a December 2025 development, confirming the situation was unresolved and only entering a planning phase long after the ~Sept 2024 deadline.
