What these figures measure. They describe the evidence we found, not the firm’s conduct. Where a criterion reads “not found”, we could not confirm it from public sources — that carries no negative inference.
Where the record shows no published enforcement action, that means our search of the register found none on the date stated. It is not a finding that no misconduct occurred.
