Evidence gaps

  • Independent verification of credentials, professional memberships, complete employment dates and individual contributions is incomplete.

  • Person-specific past-employer, court, regulator, fraud, safety, environmental and governance searches remain partial; this screening is not a clearance.

  • The saved search log records one combined broad query per person; separate dedicated searches across every due-diligence topic and prior employer were not completed.
