  "statement": "Where the same brand is registered by more than one CSP, the same vetting token must be imported into each instance.",
  "rationale": "Throughput follows the vet, and the vet is attached to a brand instance rather than to the business — so a brand registered through two CSPs with the token imported into only one of them sends fast on one route and slowly on the other, for no visible reason. Only the Aegis standard token can be reused this way; every other partner issues single-use tokens.",
