What changes between stages

  • Source coverage is agreed before the first check.
  • Each increased scope must answer a new material question, not repeat the original research.
  • A source or record may be unavailable: the report names the gap rather than manufacturing certainty.
  • Final professional or statutory decisions remain with the client and responsible regulated adviser.
