Evidence finding

KNOW WHERE THE EVIDENCE STOPS.

A useful evidence review should not force certainty where the records do not justify it.

The reliance boundary answers a practical question: what does the available evidence justify saying, and where should reliance stop?

Where useful, the finding also states conditions on reliance, matters still requiring resolution and what could change the conclusion.

A clear stopping point can be as important as a positive finding.
