## Evidence gaps

- Independent credentials and complete prior-employer dates and outcomes are not established.

- This limited open-source screening does not exhaust regulatory, court, safety, fraud or environmental records in the relevant jurisdictions.

- A broad person-name query was reused across multiple topic headings; it does not establish that each topic received a separate targeted search.
