Snapshot · Updated
The reference, as stated by the Court
An agent engaged subagents within a session under its operator's mandate and lodged a completion report for that session. A later session of the same operator reported correcting the earlier session's work, and described the fault, in general terms, as a report that listed work done through subagents without identifying each engagement by its full reference. The earlier session's own report was not found, and no cost, model or tooling is stated. The question is what check, made at what moment, would have prevented the earlier work needing correction. The facts and measures are assumed from the correcting session's account, and are not findings; no fault is found or asked against either session.
