The illustrative preview shows the order of the paid output: posture, evidence register, then questions and terms to verify. The actual report only shows modules supported by the company's available evidence.
What the report adds
The free page keeps the public record open. Paid analysis adds context and prioritisation rather than hiding the facts above.
Before you buy
No. The traffic light describes available public evidence and selected warnings. It is not a probability of default, payment guarantee, or clearance to trade.
Missing evidence stays visible as a coverage limit. It cannot become a green result, and the report states what should be verified elsewhere.
