Research still outstanding
These cards list open comparison issues in the current research files. They are research still outstanding — not findings against a broker.
More open research issues does not mean a broker is less safe.
Unresolved comparison issuesIssue types found in the current research file. Each issue counts once, not once per licence. Unresolved is not the same as adverse. These are issue categories, not licence counts. Catalog-applicable licence counts are listed separately below.
Missing coverageRows marked Not in this file yet in the table above are missing coverage, which is a different gap from an unresolved comparison issue.
