## Hazards and failure states

- Self-approval or reviewer conflict of interest

- Suppression or concealment of contradictions

- Draft material being mistaken for a public claim

- Review findings being mistaken for final publication or funding approval

- Unqualified instruments being represented as qualified

- Credential or source changes being treated as authorized

- Incomplete provenance causing false reconciliation

- Human decisions being replaced by a proposal-only review

- The supplied source record associates Pointguard with Tilly, the listed owner roles, jobs, field guides, principal gates, and never-rules.
