  "title": "An enhanced vet buys nothing on top of a top standard score",
  "statement": "An enhanced vet must not be ordered where the standard vet has already returned a score at the top band.",
  "rationale": "Throughput terms are set by score bands, and the top band is the top band — a higher-grade vet against a score already at 75 or above produces the same carrier terms for a second fee. It is bought in good faith by teams who read \"enhanced\" as \"better\" rather than as \"a different examination of the same company\".",
