## Evidence gaps

- Independent verification of qualifications and some prior-job dates was not obtained.

- Broader employer-specific, regulator and court searches are incomplete; absence of a finding is not a clearance.

- A single combined named query was reused across the nine broad topics; individual topic, prior-employer and official-record searches remain incomplete.
