This appears when the rule’s stated condition is met but the dependent field is still absent, null or blank.

What the check requires

A goods line using the 'actual' emissions method must carry a verification report reference from an accredited verifier (actual-value emissions must be verified).

A blocking error — this record cannot pass deterministic validation until it is resolved.

Why this is reported

This appears when the rule’s stated condition is met but the dependent field is still absent, null or blank. The deterministic CBAM validator reports it as rule cbam.verification.report-required-for-actual. 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

Verify the triggering condition, then either correct that source value or supply the dependent data or evidence named in the rule message. Run validation again. Clearlane never fills a compliance value by guessing.
