The case in brief
Visible before detection
Checks that could have surfaced it, on hindsight
Books edit log
Would have shown changes to subsidiary accounts.
Can mislead when: Logs can be disabled at database level (auditors qualified this in year one) or tampered with on export. Kubr needs the company to cooperate.
Governance signals
Would have tested pay links to results.
Can mislead when: Private companies file late, so these signals are lagging. Kubr uses them to support other flags, not to prove anything alone.
Document authenticity / direct pull
Would have examined valuation dates.
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.

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.
