Background-record contamination.

A later assessment may reproduce earlier unsupported material when corrections and case context do not reach the assessor.

Supporting material

• Wells: official digest; underlying decision needed

Contrary evidence

• Smith: supported medical intervention alongside an active assignment to correct the reported hazard.

What to look for

Identify the background material, prior correction or expungement, what reached the assessor, and the later decision.

Accountable practice

Keep the concern, assessment grounds, consequences, and each review outcome separately traceable.

What remains unanswered

Underlying Wells decision and engineering role remain unverified.
