- Worth noticing
- Its report explicitly says verification cannot establish representativeness, respondent authenticity, or whether unregistered polls were run.
Field notes
The bundle links each signed step to the one before it, while witnesses countersign and refuse to sign two versions of the same step. The pollster chooses the witnesses, whose identities appear in the bundle so readers can assess their independence. The page also makes clear that a passing check concerns the record's integrity and timing, not whether a sample represents a population or respondents were real.
