      What this check looks for
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Run the employer Right to Work assessment over answers gathered with right_to_work_questions. Returns every finding (urgent problems, critical uncertainties, missing safeguards, review items, duties reported complete, possible exclusions, sponsor duties), the facts not established, the modules not assessed, the statutory basis (Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006 s.15 with ss.14A/15A; SI 2026/683; SI 2026/700 art.5B) and the sources. If the walk is incomplete it returns the next screen to ask. Never confirms compliance or a statutory excuse; records nothing; issues no document. Information, not advice.

    Description, as the server wrote it
