## Evidence gaps

- Independent verification of reported credentials and complete prior-employer dates was not obtained.

- Targeted public-source searches do not exhaust legal, regulatory, sanctions, safety or litigation records.

- Individual contribution to company-wide outcomes is not quantified.

- Some earlier topic rows reuse broad person and employer searches; topic-specific regulator, court, safety, fraud and environmental searches and full prior-employer histories are incomplete.
