# Reference Check Completion Evidence Map

Treat a reference as complete only when the recorded check exists, not the request.

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

## Inputs
Candidate list, reference requests and completed check records.

## Workflow
1. List reference requests sent.
2. Match each to a completed check record.
3. Flag offers that cite references with no completed record.
4. Return the evidence map without contacting referees.

## Output contract
candidate | requests | completed | missing | cited_in_offer | decision_unproved

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional offer file cites two references for one finalist; records show one request sent and none completed. The citation stands on requests, not evidence.

## 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.
