Evidence considerations

Good decisions require context, not isolated material.

Sector duties and specialist boundaries must shape the assignment.

  • Review contractual and security restrictions first.
  • Do not imply security clearance unless verified.
  • Use current authoritative sanctions and debarment sources.
  • Government reporting duties remain with the contractor.
  • Assess cross-border law and data transfer separately.
