Scenario
A flagged record turns out to be entirely correct
A learner appears on a monitoring report every period. Each time, investigation shows the record is correct.
The situation
- Report
- A monitoring report flagging unusual duration
- Learner
- Genuinely on an extended programme for documented reasons

Constructed for teaching. No scenario in the Academy contains real learner data, and none ever will.
What should happen?
The rules behind this
Appearing on a data-quality or funding-monitoring report usually means a record has been flagged for investigation, not that it is confirmed wrong. Some flagged records are entirely correct and simply need evidence.
Evidence is strongest when it is created at the time of the event it describes and is retrievable without reconstruction. Evidence assembled after a query is asked is weaker and takes longer to produce.
