What the response says and how it was assessed
Audit analysis
The response clearly disputes the asserted evaluation duty and explains its legal/governance position with named authorities and a dated salary-setting process (pages 1–2). It does not establish a court ruling or independently verify compensation comparisons; its disagreement is not scored as a failure to engage.
