# Candidate Score Band Borderline Review

Review candidates within one band of the cut line before applying it.

## Scope
Preparation and review only. No account action or professional decision.

## Inputs
Scores, the cut line and the agreed review band.

## Workflow
1. Record the cut line and the review band.
2. List candidates within one band on either side.
3. Flag borderline cases for structured review before exclusion.
4. Return the review without selection decisions.

## Output contract
candidate | score | cut_line | within_band | side | decision_unproved

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional cut line 70, band 3 points. Scores 68 and 72 sit inside the band; excluding 68 while advancing 72 treats a 4-point spread as settled when the band says it needs review.

## Review gates
Keep original values, source IDs and version dates. Unknown facts stay held. Use qualified review for hiring, legal and accounting conclusions. No send, share, sign-in, scheduling, ledger change or payment. Fictional contract review is not a live account compatibility test.
