The case in brief
Visible before detection
Checks that could have surfaced it, on hindsight
Document authenticity / direct pull
A direct pull of the customer contract and amendments would show the terms the NHS had rejected.
Can mislead when: The company can refuse consent, and a refusal is itself a flag. Some banks and co-op banks are not on AA yet.
Third-party confirmation
Customer confirmation would show the amendments were not agreed.
Can mislead when: Counterparties can collude or ignore requests. A non-response is logged as a gap, never as a pass.
Unit economics & burn
Contract cash flow versus reported margin would show the gap.
Can mislead when: Cost allocation is a judgement call. Kubr shows its assumptions and lets the user change them.

Mapped from the checks each service runs. A hindsight reading of public records, not a promise that the failure would have been found.
Same pattern
A summary of public documents. It reports what the sources say. It is not Kubr's finding and not a statement of guilt.
