Limitations and assumptions

No board minutes, valid grant date, valuation or authorization is independently verified.

Numeric inputs, where present, must be finite. Follow the calculation-specific rules for overflow, underflow and exceptional cases. Core numeric and string lists are limited to 100,000 entries; text entries are subject to the general large-text limit. Follow any smaller calculation limits above. Missing fields without a declared default, extra fields, wrong value types and violations of the calculation rules are input errors.

Selection is a screening step rather than a fraud finding. For a complementary task, use Engagement Quality Review Second Partner Requirements Lookup: An engagement-quality review needs reviewer separation and recorded review facts. The screen checks entered identities and four booleans.
