Open Items and Candidates
Harry Yelland’s research · 2026-10-06 · Live research database · 2026-10-06.1
Original research wording and source decisions. Partial evidence is not confirmed capability; rejected sources do not support a claim. Research notes and workbook instructions are source material, not buyer instructions.
| Item | Detail | Status | Outcome or next step |
|---|---|---|---|
| RM6116 full supplier list | Only page 1 of 3 of Lot 1a (44 suppliers) and page 1 of the all-lots list (20 of 131, A to B) could be read. Later pages are blocked by the site robots rules. Export the full list yourself. | Still needs research | Export the full RM6116 supplier list by hand (later pages blocked by robots rules). Positive listings stand; absence from page 1 is not proof. |
| Candidate providers not on the roster | Outside research pass suggested Wavenet, Pulsant, Aryaka, Updata and Sky Business with Companies House numbers from search. None has evidence yet that it sells MPLS or IP VPN to UK businesses, so none is added as a row. Updata Infrastructure (UK) Limited is shown as dissolved on 1 January 2025. | Closed | None of Wavenet, Pulsant, Aryaka, Updata or Sky Business has MPLS evidence, so none was added. Updata is dissolved. |
| Possible exclusions to evidence | Lumen (UK business reportedly moved to Colt), CityFibre, Neos Networks and Virtual1 (wholesale only?), Jisc (education only?), TalkTalk (entities restructured 1 April 2026; see roster issue), Daisy (Companies House PSCs are Jet Holdco Limited and Daisy Communications Holdings Limited). | Closed | All 38 stay on the page with their limits stated in the profile and verdict (Lumen: not recommended until UK delivery is confirmed; wholesale-only providers labelled). Harry to confirm in the sign-off note. |
| Colt footprint claims | Outside pass quotes colt.net: over 31,000 connected buildings, 32 countries, 222 cities and 51 metropolitan area networks (page dated 2024-10-15), against older 29,000+ buildings. Not yet verified here. | Closed | Article uses 32,000+ buildings, from the Colt G-Cloud 14 listing and IP VPN page read 2026-10-06. Older 29,000+ and 31,000+ figures superseded; city counts not used. |
| GTT footprint | gtt.net/about-us/network (10 August 2026): 450+ PoPs on six continents, reach to more than 170 countries. Current Netify page says 550+ and 600+. | Closed | 450+ PoPs and 170+ countries re-read on gtt.net/about-us/network 2026-10-06 and shown as GTT's own claim. Netify page figures (550+, 600+) not used. |
| Telstra footprint | Outside pass quotes telstrainternational.com IPVPN page: over 2000 PoPs in more than 200 countries and territories. Other pages reportedly say close to 200. Not yet verified here. | Still needs research | Telstra UK pages redirect; footprint figures not entered. Check by hand. |
| Verizon 57 data centres | Claim not found on current Verizon pages by two passes. | Closed | Claim not found on current Verizon pages; not used anywhere. |
| MPLS end-of-life | No provider end-of-life date for core MPLS was found. This is not proof none exists. | Closed | No provider end-of-life date found. This is not proof none exists; the page does not claim one. |
| BT global performance targets | IP Connect Global schedules say targets are on the GS Portal and the PDF tables did not extract. Get the figures from the portal or BT. | Still needs research | BT global performance targets sit on the GS Portal. Get them from the portal or BT. |
| Exponential-e MPLS service definition | Only the Smart Wires access schedule has numeric targets. Find the MPLS or VPLS service definition for core targets. The earlier network page /our-network (190 UK PoPs) was blocked for one outside pass but readable here. | Still needs research | Exponential-e core MPLS or VPLS targets are not published on pages read. Ask the provider; Smart Wires access targets only are recorded. |
| Outside research candidates not entered | BT ISO 9001 certificate LRQ0940000 (LRQA), ISO 27001/22301 reference LRQ0772591, Cyber Essentials Plus guidance, monthly service report in Managed Service Schedule, BT case studies by sector, Vodafone, Zen, Verizon, AT&T, Cogent and Zayo product statements, Neos legal entity page, Jisc legal entities, Companies House numbers for Maintel UK Limited (04526156), NTT Europe Ltd (02307625), Wavenet, Pulsant, Aryaka. None was verified here, so none is recorded as fact. | Still needs research | ISO, Cyber Essentials Plus and BT case-study items were not entered. Check IASME, UKAS and BT pages by hand. |
| Rejected outside claims | BT core network owned (inferred), MEF 3.0 from a SASE certification, GTT UK Limited 06117401, BT Annual Report SOC count as NOC evidence, an Exponential-e Companies House number given from memory. | Rejected | Outside claims rejected; none entered. |
| Batches 1 to 5: how the outside results were used | The first five batches (25 providers) came back with many wrong claims. Each parent, public-sector, SLA, certification and case-study claim was re-read on the page by a checker using page-reader summaries. Only confirmed items were entered; each has a source row with Decision blank. Wording is reader-summary, so confirm verbatim before setting Decision. Everything else stays To review, with findings in the Notes columns. | Closed | Method recorded. Batch 1 to 5 claims were re-read on the page; only confirmed items entered. |
| RM6116: later list pages blocked | Lot lists were read from the Government Commercial Agency site (the crowncommercial URLs redirect there). Lumen, Verizon, Orange, GTT, AT&T and the rest of batches 4 and 5 were not found on page 1 only, so absence is not proven. Export the full supplier list. | Still needs research | Later RM6116 list pages blocked. Absence for Lumen, Verizon, Orange, GTT, AT&T and others is not proven. Export the list by hand. |
| Roster entity issues | TalkTalk Business: roster 03849133 is TalkTalk Communications Limited, RM6116 lists TalkTalk Business Direct Limited (11347230). Gamma: roster is Gamma Communications plc, RM6116 lists Gamma Network Solutions Limited. GTT: GTT - EMEA LTD. (03580993) entered but not confirmed as the contracting entity. AT&T: overseas company FC021840 behind UK establishment BR004993. | Still needs research | Contracting entities differ from the roster for TalkTalk, Gamma and GTT. Confirm each on Companies House and the framework list. |
| Parents not yet entered | Tata Communications (UK) Limited and Telstra International Ltd: Companies House PSC pages returned 403. Check by hand. | Still needs research | Tata Communications (UK) and Telstra International Ltd parents: Companies House returned 403. Check by hand. |
| Providers with Not found for MPLS page that were search failures | Node4 (service pages exist), Six Degrees (Managed WAN page), Redcentric (Managed MPLS page), Claranet (UK Managed WAN page), Telstra (IPVPN page), Tata (Global VPN page). Not found in the earlier pass should not be copied into the workbook. | Closed | Resolved in passes 3 and 4: Node4, Six Degrees, Redcentric, Claranet, Telstra and Tata MPLS pages now recorded. |
| Colt own SLA | Colt latency, jitter and loss figures from the earlier pass were SIP Trunking or old third-party copies; the cited Colt IP Access PDF is a 404. Find Colt's current IP VPN service level document. | Still needs research | Colt IP VPN latency, jitter and loss: the cited Colt IP Access PDF is a 404 and earlier figures were SIP Trunking. Colt shown as availability only (99.9%). |
| Lumen SLA | Lumen's own SLA (2026-07-28) gives packet delivery by class and Intra-UK latency under 25 ms, but Table 5.1.1 covers On-Demand products. Read the PDF and the MPLS VPN Service Schedule (2026-04-23) for the MPLS case. | Closed | Lumen SLA dated 28 July 2026 read 2026-10-06: intra-Europe PoP latency under 35 ms, jitter under 3 ms. Not UK-specific and the EMEA business moved to Colt, so UK cells stay Not published. |
| Vodafone SLA figures | Values entered are best-case classes from IP-VPN Service Specific Terms v1.7 (2024-09-30). Decide which class to quote on the page. | Closed | Article quotes the best-case class (99.99% core, 5 ms jitter, 0.04% loss) from IP-VPN Specific Terms v1.7. Keep the "published target" wording. |
| Non-UK case studies | NTT DATA (Pick n Pay, Mondi, HUBER+SUHNER), GTT and AT&T (US federal) do not count as UK sector evidence. None entered. | Rejected | Non-UK case studies not entered as UK sector evidence. |
| Earlier outside claims rejected in this round | AT&T SLA figures attributed to Lumen, Verizon and AT&T; Tata 99.8% as an availability SLA; Telstra service discontinuation note; Expereo and Redcentric and Six Degrees core network not owned; Colt SIP Trunking figures; Gamma Horizon figures; Zen broadband SLA figures; Spitfire leased line and VoIP figures; Gamma Lincolnshire case; GTT UK Limited 06117401. | Rejected | Outside claims rejected; none entered. |
| Not yet run | Batches 6, 7 and 8 were run on 2026-10-02 and filled from the outside research plus a re-check. See the rows below. | Closed | Batches 6 to 8 completed 2026-10-02. |
| Batches 6 to 8 rejected claims | Onecom parent (Onecom plc AIM) and telephony repair times; M247 parent and regional PoPs; Globalgig 200 PoPs, SLA PDF (404) and the manufacturer-retailer case; Cogent 90 ms Europe latency, Taiwan MPLS page and Bristol NOC; Zayo parent and directory coverage; Jisc PSN (govroam), MPLS and VPLS; hSo own-MPLS-platform, RM1045 and partner-page platforms; Commsworld self-referencing parent and SD-WAN Not found; ITS self-referencing parent; Virtual1 3,000 exchanges, 40 seconds and LinkedIn MPLS; CityFibre MEF 3.0 and 100% SLA. | Rejected | Outside claims rejected; none entered. |
| Shortlist fit: infrastructure and wholesale | Jisc (no MPLS or IP VPN product), ITS Technology Group, Virtual1 (PXC) and CityFibre are wholesale or infrastructure providers; ITS and Virtual1 have no MPLS page. Decide whether they stay on the page or move to a separate wholesale note. | Closed | Jisc, ITS, Virtual1 (PXC) and CityFibre stay on the page, labelled wholesale only or IP service rather than MPLS. |
| hSo evidence checks | Confirm RM6116 Lot 1a on the CCS supplier list, HSCN on the NHS supplier list, and the ISO claims against registrar records. No corporate parent on Companies House. | Still needs research | hSo: RM6116 and HSCN confirmed 2026-10-06 (Syntura Group Limited t/a hSo). ISO claims still need registrar records. |
| Virtual1 and PXC naming | Virtual1 Limited trades as PXC since March 2024. Decide the name used on the page and confirm the contracting entity. | Closed | Page uses "Virtual1, now PXC". Contracting entity still to confirm (see roster entity item). |
| Zayo UK entity | Zayo Group UK Limited has no registrable person on Companies House. Confirm the ultimate owner from a Tier 1 or Tier 2 source before naming a parent. | Still needs research | Zayo Group UK Limited has no registrable person. Confirm the owner from a Tier 1 or 2 source before naming a parent. |
| Globalgig SLA | The SLA-By-Product PDF is 404. The MPLS Addendum gives US domestic figures only. Ask for a UK SLA or leave Not published. | Closed | Globalgig: only US SLA figures exist, so UK SLA cells stay Not published. |
| Cogent latency | SLA PDF gives 45 ms or less North America and 35 ms or less intra-Europe (outside pass said 90 ms). No UK only figure. Decide which figure to quote. | Closed | Cogent: no UK-only latency figure; Not published. Unreliable figures excluded from the page. |
| Onecom MPLS terms | The WAN and Ethernet schedule gives 99.99% internet platform availability and Premium repair targets of 6, 12 and 48 hours, with no service credits. Not entered because the scope (MPLS or internet) is unclear. | Closed | Onecom: scope of the 99.99% figure unclear, so not entered. |
| Register check 2026-10-02: method | RM6116, HSCN, G-Cloud and cloud partner lists were re-checked by page-reader summaries for all 36 providers. The MEF register is a dynamic app that tools cannot read, so every MEF 3.0 date comes from a press page. Quotes are reader summaries; confirm on the live pages before setting Decision. | Closed | Method recorded. MEF register unreadable, so MEF dates come from press pages. |
| Colt claims failed | Colt Technology Services is not on any RM6116 lot list read and not on any HSCN list. G-Cloud service 452502314103160 is Colt Cloud Communications (hosted UC), not a network service, and two supplier IDs appeared (92236, 92838). MEF 3.0 Carrier Ethernet and SD-WAN dates come from Colt press pages. | Closed | Colt is on no RM6116 or HSCN list read; the G-Cloud claims for Colt Cloud Communications are a different service. Not entered. |
| Spitfire RM6116 lots | Spitfire is on Lots 1a and 4a only. The outside claim of Lot 4b is wrong. | Closed | Spitfire is on Lots 1a and 4a only. Recorded. |
| Vodafone RM6116 lots | Vodafone Limited appears on 1a, 2a, 3a, 3b, 4b, 4c, 4d and 4e, not 2a only. Lot 4a was unreadable for Vodafone and Virgin Media Business (22 shown against 23). | Closed | Vodafone listed on eight RM6116 lots; Lot 4a unreadable. RM6116 stands. |
| Daisy RM6116 conflict | The CCS supplier page for Daisy Corporate Services Trading Limited (id 1504, titled WN Corporate Services Trading Limited) lists 8 lots. No GCA lot list shows Daisy or WN, and the GCA page returned an error. Cell is Partial; check live. | Still needs research | Daisy RM6116 stays Partial; the supplier is listed under a different name. Confirm with the CCS list. |
| HSCN: N3 overlay suppliers | Vodafone, TalkTalk Business, Maintel, Verizon and Lumen (listed as CenturyLink) appear only as RM1045 N3 overlay business applications suppliers, not CN-SPs and not on the RM3825 DPS. Entered as Partial. Daisy appears only in HSCN performance data. Gamma is a CN-SP and DPS supplier under Gamma Telecom Ltd. | Closed | Vodafone, TalkTalk, Maintel, Verizon and Lumen are N3 overlay suppliers only; entered Partial. |
| hSo / Syntura on HSCN | This pass found hSo listed as Syntura on the CN-SP table and RM3825. An earlier check did not see it. Cell left Partial until confirmed. HSO Enterprise Solutions Limited on G-Cloud 14 (716921) is a different company. | Closed | Resolved 2026-10-06: hSo is listed as Syntura Group Limited on the NHS CN-SP list and RM3825; HSCN is Proven. |
| Tata and Telstra MEF and G-Cloud | No MEF release names Tata Communications or Telstra for SD-WAN, so those outside claims are unsupported. Tata Communications is only on G-Cloud 10 (framework expired 1 July 2019); Tata Consultancy Services is a different company on G-Cloud 15. | Closed | Unsupported Tata and Telstra MEF and G-Cloud claims not entered. |
| MEF attribution | Comcast Business, not the Masergy UK entity, holds the SD-WAN (2020-03-18) and SASE (2024-10-29) listings. Orange Business is listed for Carrier Ethernet and SASE, not SD-WAN. Lumen is listed for Carrier Ethernet and SASE. AT&T is listed for SD-WAN and SASE. Dates are announcement dates. | Still needs research | MEF register is a dynamic app that tools cannot read. Check MEF 3.0 dates by hand. |
| Cloud partner lists | Azure names are group brands, never the UK entity. UK Azure locations are London, London2 and Newport only. AWS and Google evidence is reader-summary only and two AWS fetches disagreed on KCOM, hSo and Masergy. Delivery Partner status was not verified. Telstra is on the current AWS list, so the 2018 slide claim is out of date. NTT DOCOMO BUSINESS, not NTT DATA, appears for NTT. | Still needs research | Cloud partner lists are group brands and reader summaries only. Azure on-ramp cells are Partial. Check the AWS, Azure and Google partner pages. |
| Roster entity mismatches | TalkTalk: roster 03849133 vs TalkTalk Business Direct Limited on RM6116 and G-Cloud. Gamma: Gamma Communications plc vs Gamma Network Solutions Limited (RM6116) and Gamma Telecom Ltd (HSCN). Daisy: Daisy Communications Ltd vs Daisy Corporate Services Trading Ltd. NTT: NTT DATA UK Limited vs NTT UNITED KINGDOM LIMITED. Decide which entity each cell should describe. | Still needs research | Roster entity mismatches (TalkTalk, Gamma, Daisy). Same action as the roster entity item. |
| Module 1 not covered | Module 1 found no ISO 27001, ISO 9001, ISO 22301, Cyber Essentials Plus or Ofcom records for Groups 1 and 2, and PSN is a provider claim only. Those cells need the IASME, UKAS and Ofcom registers. Modules 2 to 4 and Module 1 Groups 3 and 4 have not been run. | Still needs research | ISO 27001, ISO 9001, ISO 22301, Cyber Essentials Plus and Ofcom records need the IASME, UKAS and Ofcom registers. PSN is a provider claim only. |
| Module 2 check 2026-10-02: method | Module 2 Groups 1 to 3 were re-checked by page-reader summaries. Group 1 URLs were not supplied by the outside tool and were found by the check. Groups 2 and 3 URLs were tested. TalkTalk, M247 and some Neos pages block the reader. Confirm quotes on the live pages before setting Decision. | Closed | Method recorded. |
| Wrong or unsupported Module 2 claims | TalkTalk Irlam NOC (old Post Office inquiry record); Colt 222 cities and 32 countries (now 230+ and 1,100+); KCOM co-location core wording; Vodafone partner access wording; AT&T 657 PoPs, 1,500 nodes and a Verizon SLA cited as AT&T; Orange 250+ PoPs (Internet Platinum, not Business VPN); Tata 24x7 NOC (contact-centre brochure); Telstra NOC quote; Node4 access carrier list; Maintel Blackburn NOC; Redcentric PoP quote; Verizon Slough page (404). | Rejected | Wrong Module 2 claims rejected; none entered. |
| Module 2 still thin | No provider has a confirmed current UK NOC location. UK PoP city lists exist only for Tata, Colt (2021 release), KCOM, Spitfire and M247. Own-PoP country lists are not published by any provider in Groups 1 to 3, so those cells say Not published. M247 regional coverage and the Colt, Lumen and NTT data centre lists still need a current source. | Still needs research | No provider has a confirmed UK NOC location and few publish UK PoP city lists. Ask providers directly. |
| PoP definitions differ | Virgin 336 PoPs, Neos 640+ PoPs, Zen 8 core data centres and Spitfire 4 core nodes are different measures and should not be compared as a league table. | Closed | Page caveats that PoP counts are different measures (see the UK PoPs FAQ). |
| Module 2 Group 4 not run | Jisc, hSo, Commsworld, ITS, Virtual1, CityFibre, Globalgig, Cogent and Zayo still need Module 2. | Closed | Group 4 (Jisc, hSo, Commsworld, ITS, Virtual1, CityFibre, Globalgig, Cogent, Zayo) covered in passes 3 and 4. |
| Research pass 2026-10-02: method | Two passes of page-reader research were run for fields still To review. Quotes are reader summaries; every entry is Partial unless a provider page states it plainly. Fields where three routes were not tried were left To review rather than set to Not found. | Closed | Method recorded. |
| Zayo entity | UK facts for Zayo came from Zayo Europe (zayoeurope.com), a standalone company since 2024, while SD-WAN and North America facts came from Zayo Group. The roster entity is Zayo Group UK Limited. Decide which entity each Zayo cell should describe. All Zayo entries are Partial for this reason. | Still needs research | Zayo UK facts come from Zayo Europe. Decide which entity each cell describes. Same action as the Zayo UK entity item. |
| Virtual1 and PXC | PXC combines Virtual1 with TalkTalk wholesale (March 2024). virtual1.com redirects to pxc.co.uk, so PXC pages and PeeringDB may describe the merged network. PeeringDB figures are Tier 3. | Closed | PeeringDB figures are Tier 3 and not accepted as evidence. The page names PXC (formerly Virtual1). |
| Globalgig SLA | Only a US (Americas) MPLS addendum was found: 99.99% domestic availability and a 50 ms core round trip. Not entered as UK figures. UK entity is GLOBALGIG LIMITED 08164402. | Closed | Duplicate of the Globalgig SLA item; closed. |
| Commsworld SD-WAN | Commsworld pages name MPLS L3VPN, VPLS and managed firewall but no SD-WAN or SASE. A Digital Marketplace Managed SD-WAN listing belongs to Digital Space Cloud Services Ltd and was rejected. PoP counts conflict: 125 on its own page, 90 on a Telehouse listing, both undated. | Closed | Commsworld: no SD-WAN or SASE found; PoP count varies by source and the page says so (125 stated). |
| Colt class of service conflict | Colt page says five classes of service, the G-Cloud listing says six with end-to-end SLAs. The G-Cloud listing also claims PSN and HSCN, which no register supports. CoS cell left To review. | Still needs research | Colt: five QoS classes on the page, six on the G-Cloud listing. Cell shows the page figure; confirm with Colt. |
| Virgin Media O2 Ofcom entry | Ofcom fine closed 8 July 2026 was against VMED O2 UK Limited (residential switching), not the business unit. Entered as Partial. | Closed | Ofcom fine was against a different entity; Partial. |
| Still unobtainable with these tools | SLA latency, jitter and packet loss, repair targets and UK access-bandwidth figures sit in gated or separate documents for most providers. Telstra UK and Comcast Business (Masergy) pages redirect, Companies House returned 403 for several PSC pages, and M247, TalkTalk and some Jisc pages block the page reader. These need a manual read or a provider request. | Still needs research | SLA latency, jitter, loss and repair targets sit in gated documents for most providers. Ask providers or read the portals. |
| Resolved To review cells 2026-10-02 | Cells where research found a figure for the wrong product or country are Partial (status cells) or Not published (figure cells) with the figure in the Notes. Cells where research found nothing on the provider pages tried are Not found or Not published, which means not found by page-reader search, not that it does not exist. Three parent cells are leads only (TalkTalk, Tata, Telstra) and need the Companies House PSC page. | Closed | Resolved with Partial or Not published and the figure in Notes. |
| Third research pass 2026-10-02 | Third pass used G-Cloud service documents, provider PDFs, job adverts and PeeringDB. Only Not found or Not published cells with evidence were changed. PeeringDB-based PoP and country cells are Tier 3 corroboration only. Lumen no longer runs a UK network business (EMEA sold to Colt, completion announced 1 Nov 2023): rethink the Lumen row. Telstra International said in June 2024 it is ceasing new Managed Services: check the live page before using the Managed SD-WAN cells. Globalgig MPLS SLA figures found are for the US entity only (not entered). Spitfire SLA v2.3 covers access products, not MPLS (not entered). Zen SLA PDFs found were ADSL 2008. Daisy G-Cloud listings belong to Wavenet Limited (not used). Cogent 58 countries is a serves figure, not on-net (not entered). Reader summaries only: verify each quote on the live page. | Closed | Third pass merged. |
| Fourth research pass 2026-10-02 | Fourth pass used trade press, vendor pages, customer documents and provider PDFs. Not entered: NTT DATA (evidence is NTT Communications Japan, wrong entity), Jisc 99.95% (conflicts with 99.7% on G-Cloud and is an IP connection, not MPLS), Cogent figures (global, 2006 SLA), Vodafone 99.95% versus 99.90% reader-summary conflict (read the PDF table), Zayo fibre expansion list (not on-net PoPs), Expereo Ethernet (partner title only). Comcast Business (Masergy) cells come from US PSA terms PDFs with no UK scope, so Partial only. M247 coverage cells rest on a January 2020 article. Globalgig SLA figures are US entity only. Verify every quote on the live page. | Closed | Fourth pass merged. |
| Outside research files 2026-10-06 (five files) | Reviewed against provider pages. Used: NHS England CN-SP list (BT and hSo to Proven, Daisy to Partial), Redcentric healthcare customers, TalkTalk Fuller's case, Spitfire access carriers, Lumen SLA note. Not used: all prices, commission rates and market benchmarks (brief says no prices); claims whose cited pages did not support them. | Closed | Done 2026-10-06. No prices, commission rates or benchmarks were used. |
| Verizon IP VPN Dedicated SLA PDF | Outside file quotes 99.8%/99.95% availability, 4 hour repair for Global Tier A (includes UK) and 90 ms EMEA to EMEA latency. The PDF blocked automated reading (robots rules), so none is entered. Read the PDF yourself before using. | Still needs research | Read the Verizon IP VPN Dedicated SLA PDF by hand (blocked to automated reading). Its UK figures are not entered, so Verizon stays In progress. |
| Candidate providers from outside files | Convergence (Group Networks), The Networking People (TNP), ANS Group and Syntura/hSo appear on the NHS CN-SP and RM3825 lists. Pure IP, Giganet, MPS Networks, CloudSwitched and HM Network are resellers or aggregators with no MPLS evidence read. Roster decision for Harry and Robert; none added as a row. | Decision needed | Roster decision for Harry and Robert: Convergence, TNP, ANS and Syntura (on HSCN lists) and the reseller names. None added. |
| HSCN list changed | FAQ HSCN list should now read BT Business, Virgin Media O2 Business, Gamma, Exponential-e, Redcentric, Node4 and hSo. Daisy is Partial (not on the NHS England list). | Still needs research | Workbook updated. Harry to change the HSCN FAQ in the article to match (BT Business, Virgin Media O2 Business, Gamma, Exponential-e, Redcentric, Node4, hSo). |
| Source decisions 2026-10-06 | Accepted = live page read and supports the claim (exact wording), or supports a weaker or differently scoped claim with the limitation in the note (accepted by Harry). Rejected = tier 4, US-only, dead-link, unopened, unreadable or tier 3 sources and pages that do not support the claim. Needs review = none. Accepted does not mean the quotation has been checked verbatim by a person; that sign-off step remains. | Closed | Rule applied to all 794 source rows. |
| Proven check 2026-10-06 | Every Proven cell was tested against an Accepted source for the same provider, sheet and column. 45 failed on first pass and were lowered to Partial; after the live page check 12 were restored and 33 remain Partial. No Proven cell rests on a source marked Needs review or Rejected. | Closed | No Proven cell now rests on a source marked Needs review or Rejected. |
| Live page check 2026-10-06: pages not read | Sources that could not be read or checked on the live page were marked Rejected as not published or available to review (Harry, 2026-10-06). No Proven cell relies on them; some Partial cells cite only rejected sources. | Closed | If any page can be read later, re-open its row and set Decision to Accepted. |
| Live page check 2026-10-06: partial matches | Sources where the page supports only a weaker, global, older or other-entity claim were Accepted by Harry (2026-10-06) with the limitation kept in the note. | Closed | No action unless a better page is found. |
