## Requires caveat

```yaml
requires_caveat:
  - claim: >
      The Blueprint is the leading international executive search firm dedicated to driving growth and transformation for the world's most influential creative companies.
    tier: core
    proof_status: requires_caveat
    owner: "[gap]"
    validity_window:
      valid_from: 2026-10-06
      valid_until: null
    source_hash: "58d95ebeedda441e10816de25b248588a995377f05e904844ace71d5304e63c4"
    exact_text: true
    approved_language: "The leading international executive search firm dedicated to driving growth and transformation for the world's most influential creative companies."
    caveat: >
      "Leading" and "world's most influential" are self-asserted superlatives. No third-party ranking, industry award, or independent audit supporting these superlatives was available in the evidence at time of compilation (2026-10-06). Legal review is required before using this language in regulated advertising, comparative claims, or any context where substantiation may be demanded. The exact wording above is the brand's own homepage language and may be used in brand-descriptive contexts when it is clearly presented as the brand's own positioning.
    evidence: "First-party website homepage, wearetheblueprint.com, retrieved 2026-10-06."

  - claim: >
      The Blueprint is committed to building a more inclusive and dynamic creative industry.
    tier: default
    proof_status: requires_caveat
    owner: "[gap]"
    validity_window:
      valid_from: 2026-10-06
      valid_until: null
    source_hash: "58d95ebeedda441e10816de25b248588a995377f05e904844ace71d5304e63c4"
    exact_text: false
    approved_language: null
    caveat: >
      This is a stated commitment, not a measured outcome. No supporting data, programme details, or third-party evidence for inclusivity outcomes was available in the evidence at time of compilation (2026-10-06). Do not frame this as a verified achievement. If used, pair with specific supporting evidence or programs the brand can cite. Legal review recommended before use in regulated or comparative contexts.
    evidence: >
      First-party website homepage: "we are committed to building a more inclusive and dynamic industry." wearetheblueprint.com, retrieved 2026-10-06. Consistent with owner-confirmed brand promise (reference finding 053bb362).

## Forbidden

```yaml
forbidden:
  - claim: >
      The Blueprint is the number one, top-ranked, most awarded, or objectively best executive search firm in any market or category.
    tier: core
    proof_status: forbidden
    owner: "[gap]"
    validity_window:
      valid_from: 2026-10-06
      valid_until: null
    source_hash: "[gap]"
    exact_text: false
    approved_language: null
    reason: >
      No third-party ranking, award, or independent audit evidence supports any such claim. Using it without substantiation exposes the brand to regulatory and reputational risk. The approved superlative ("leading") already requires caveat; anything stronger is unsupported.

  - claim: >
      The Blueprint has offices in, or is headquartered in, any city or country beyond London, New York, and Singapore.
    tier: core
    proof_status: forbidden
    owner: "[gap]"
    validity_window:
      valid_from: 2026-10-06
      valid_until: null
    source_hash: "[gap]"
    exact_text: false
    approved_language: null
    reason: >
      Only London, New York, and Singapore are evidenced as locations. Any other city or country claim is unsupported by available evidence and must not be made until confirmed and added to this file.

  - claim: >
      The Blueprint has placed a specific measurable number of executives, achieved a specific revenue figure, or holds a market-share percentage, unless that figure is confirmed and dated in an approved source added to this file.
    tier: core
    proof_status: forbidden
    owner: "[gap]"
    validity_window:
      valid_from: 2026-10-06
      valid_until: null
    source_hash: "[gap]"
    exact_text: false
    approved_language: null
    reason: >
      No quantitative placement, revenue, or market-share data was present in the evidence at time of compilation (2026-10-06). Generating specific figures without a sourced, dated, owner-approved finding risks false advertising. Add a confirmed finding before using any such claim.

  - claim: >
      The Blueprint has achieved specific, measurable inclusivity or diversity outcomes (e.g., percentage of diverse placements, named DEI programme results) without evidence and owner confirmation.
    tier: core
    proof_status: forbidden
    owner: "[gap]"
    validity_window:
      valid_from: 2026-10-06
      valid_until: null
    source_hash: "[gap]"
    exact_text: false
    approved_language: null
    reason: >
      The inclusivity claim in evidence is a stated commitment only. Presenting it as a measured or verified outcome, or citing specific statistics, is unsupported and must not appear in brand communications until the brand supplies confirmed evidence.
