Certrak’s verdict

The short version

One or two plain sentences: what this is, and whether it bites for a typical business.

What it actually requires

The substance in plain language. Quote the source where the exact wording matters.

Does this reach your business?

Who it applies to, and the common situations where it does or does not.

What sensible looks like

Practical, proportionate steps. Not legal advice: what a reasonable operator would do.
