The public dashboard lost 14 months of inspection data—and the annual report never mentioned the gap

A fictional records comparison demonstrates how missing data can be documented without overstating what the absence means.

This is fictional demonstration content. It does not describe a real harbour, authority or event.

The public dashboard contains no inspection entries for 14 consecutive months. That absence is confirmed. Its cause is not.

The annual report says inspections continued on schedule, but does not identify the missing dashboard period. The fictional authority says a software migration may have interrupted publication and is reviewing archived records.

What can be said now

The available records support a narrow conclusion: the public-facing dataset is incomplete. They do not establish that inspections were skipped. Publication systems fail; underlying operational records may still exist.

A complete investigation would compare work orders, inspector logs and archived exports before making a claim about compliance.
