What I would suggest is that these aren't the same suppliers in each circumstance. Each one of these is a unique supplier. This 41% isn't instances of the same supplier doing the same things. Also, we're looking at different departments. I believe you previously asked which departments were implicated, and there were some that were implicated more than others.
However, in terms of the considerations we're looking for, it's things like timing: When were the resources replaced? Were they replaced immediately? Was it a replacement of one or all of the resources? Were reasons provided? Were reasons requested and not provided? Were reasons required and not provided? Each one of those would provide indicia.
Plus, there's the factor that I identified, which is what the department asked for, and then the suppliers themselves attest to the fact that the resources provided are available. Did the department go back and ask for proof of those attestations? That's something we didn't find. As I said, that would have been the red flag.
The other factors I identified are what I think you are probing on: What indicia would we be looking for to walk us down that path?
