This appears when the required field is absent, null or blank at the path reported by the finding.

What the check requires
A blocking error — this record cannot pass deterministic validation until it is resolved.
Why this is reported
This appears when the required field is absent, null or blank at the path reported by the finding. The deterministic CBAM validator reports it as rule cbam.emissions.method-present. The requirement and citation come from versioned profile 1.0.3; Clearlane does not replace them with an AI-generated verdict.
How it gets fixed
Follow the finding path and add the required source data or evidence named in the rule message. Run validation again. Clearlane never fills a compliance value by guessing.
