RMCA methodology

Evidence must retain its entity, scope, source, date and limitation.

The RCEF methodology keeps the boundaries of a public statement visible from source review through publication, correction and renewal.

Printed source documents arranged for a methodical evidence review
Reviewable sources and clearly assigned responsibilities are part of the method.

Why the method exists

Different sources answer different questions.

Company registers, regulator records, firm statements, contractual documents and complaint routes cannot safely be collapsed into one undifferentiated conclusion.

Defined scope

Every conclusion begins with boundaries.

A record says precisely what was reviewed and what was excluded.

Evidence character

Strength is described field by field.

Evidence character does not produce a universal firm score. One field can be independently corroborated while another remains self-declared or outside scope.

  1. 01Not evidenced within the reviewed scope
  2. 02Self-declared
  3. 03Documentary evidence reviewed
  4. 04Independently corroborated within the defined scope
  5. 05Outcome evidenced within a stated period and sample
A controlled sequence keeps preparation, decision and publication responsibilities distinct.
