This work has clear boundaries

The reviews provided are intended to support judgement and understanding, not to replace decision-making, governance, or professional advice. They offer an independent perspective on how decisions appear to be made in practice and where risk or uncertainty may be accumulating.

The work does not constitute:

• legal advice,
• financial or investment advice,
• audit or assurance activity,
• regulatory compliance assessment, or
• investigation of individuals or incidents.

No opinions are offered on the legality, probity, or correctness of specific past decisions. The focus is on patterns, conditions, and decision environments rather than outcomes or fault.

What can this process do for clients

Reviews are based on the information you choose to provide and on reasonable interpretation of that material. They are not exhaustive and should not be treated as definitive statements of fact. Any conclusions are necessarily limited by the scope agreed and the information available at the time.

The work is written for your internal use. While you may choose to share it, responsibility for how it is interpreted or relied upon by others rests with you.

These boundaries exist to preserve clarity, independence, and usefulness. They ensure the work remains proportionate, honest about its limits, and focused on supporting better judgement rather than creating false certainty.
