How to read this audit

This review assesses how the response engages the cited finding or recommendation, not whether the respondent’s factual or legal claims are correct. Implementation descriptions are agency claims or commitments, not independently verified completion. Citations use PDF page numbers, including cover pages. The four numbered Grand Jury recommendations are audited. BSCC regulatory deficiencies in the attached inspection are not reclassified as jury findings. The later BSCC document is linked separately as supporting material; its inspection scope differs from the earlier inspection.

No concrete commitments were extracted from this response.
