Illustrative example
- Input
- Run merchant due diligence on Northgate Trading Ltd. The companies registry connector returns a 503 for the duration of the run. Website and reviews are reachable.
- Expected behavior
- The agent completes the web and reviews checks, then reports the registry check as not completed due to source unavailability and withholds a clear recommendation, escalating for analyst review rather than inferring registry status from the other evidence.
