| mohsin.khan | 245 | 254 | 34 | 13.88% |

Low Performers - Update Patterns
Gaming Indicators| Salesperson | Instant | Delayed | Interviews | Rate |

| sunil.nalli | 121 | 6 | 1 | 0.83% |
| pyarasanisai.p | 151 | 33 | 1 | 0.66% |
Low performers have high instant rates too — but this proves false claiming. Their "instant" EC flags result in zero interviews.

Audit Trail Insights
External Validation Works
When someone other than the submitter validates the EC flag, interview rates are 2.42x higher. This proves that independent verification prevents false claims.
Self-Update Red Flag
60% of EC updates are self-updates with only 4.07% interview rate. This is the primary vector for gaming — salespeople immediately flag their own submissions without verification.
Recommended Process Change
Require EC status changes to be made by a different user than the original submitter. This single change could improve interview rates by up to 142% based on the data.
