Duties after the finding

Respect source custody
Provide purpose-specific references and authorised representations. Personal, clinical, commercial and protected scientific records have different access scopes.

Disagreement, assistance and evidence alternatives
A completeness query names the unresolved evidence and the alternative the receiving office can assess. An administrative complaint concerns service handling; a legal appeal concerns a finding and its competent remedy. A public petition asks a representative institution to examine a wider issue.
