Why 53/100, and not 100?
The points below are not taken away from Terry Carson: they are simply not yet awarded, for lack of a public source to verify them. Payotte estimates nothing and invents nothing.
- Local presence in Thorncliffe Park not confirmed. No public source proves how many files were closed in this specific sector — only the professional holds that figure.
- No verifiable distinction found (industry award, press citation, teaching role). Absence of evidence, not evidence of absence.
Is this profile about you?
Your score is public, criterion by criterion. Up to 12 points are out of reach — not because you don't deserve them, but because no public source lets us verify them. From you, we need:
- up to 7 pts — your presence in Thorncliffe Park: files closed there over the past twelve months, and the address of the office that serves it
- up to 5 pts — a verifiable distinction: an industry award, a press citation, a teaching role
We verify, we date it, we publish. It is free, and it buys no ranking — only an accurate profile.
