Planning and decision-support competencies
Read with the current rules, notifications, circulars, portal instructions and binding judgments applicable to the event date.
Fix person, entity, role, activity, period, location, threshold and regulator.
Separate statute, delegated law, regulator guidance, contract and internal policy.
Reconcile documents, systems, filings, accounts and approvals.

Common additional failures are stale law, incomplete authority, inconsistent records, undocumented judgment and missing cross-law analysis.
