Inspect the uncertain match · EX-02
A second fictional notice names “Example Supplier A” but provides no supplier reference. A shared name cannot establish that it concerns the same entity. It is excluded from the finding pending corroboration.

Supported within this fictional example
What it does not establish
The notice does not establish satisfactory performance, payment, financial standing or the identity of the supplier in EX-02.
Review the outstanding questions
- Corroborate the supplier identifier against an authorised register.
- Obtain evidence of performance if that matters to the decision.
- Resolve the second notice before associating it with this supplier.
Litigation records were not searched. That is a coverage gap, not a finding that no litigation exists.

Records & relationshipsPrepare for review
Bring findings into a report. Distinguish facts, allegations and inference, and identify questions that remain unresolved.
Findings & limitationsA source is only useful

Availability is not completeness. Public registers, published judgments and paid searches each offer a different view of the record.
