The case in brief
Visible before detection
Checks that could have surfaced it, on hindsight
Unit economics & burn
Unit margins on imported lines at the GBP 1 price would have shown the squeeze from the weaker pound.
Can mislead when: Cost allocation is a judgement call. Kubr shows its assumptions and lets the user change them.
Regulatory & litigation records
A CVA proposal in 2018 would show up in insolvency and filing records.
Can mislead when: Court records lag and name spellings vary. A clean record can mean the problem has not reached court yet.

Mapped from the checks each service runs. A hindsight reading of public records, not a promise that the failure would have been found.
Same pattern
A summary of public documents. It reports what the sources say. It is not Kubr's finding and not a statement of guilt.
