Why this rule existsrationale
A populated ticker on a private company is an internally contradictory registration, and vetting treats contradictions as failed identity verification rather than as a harmless extra field. It usually happens when a form is copied from a template or a previous registration.
How to fix itremediation
Clear both stock fields. They apply only to publicly traded companies.
A compliant exampleexample
Stock symbol: (empty) · Stock exchange: (empty)
Rules you will hit next
One other rule reads brand.stock_symbol + brand.stock_exchange. Fixing one field to satisfy a single rule is how a resubmission trades one rejection for another, so read these before you change anything.
