Why this rule existsrationale

The undeclared method is the one generating complaints, because it is the one nobody applied the disclosure checklist to. Businesses omit them without deciding to: the web form is what the registration form asks about, and the fact that the sales team also collects numbers at trade shows never comes up until a recipient asks where the number came from.

How to fix itremediation

Ask everyone who could add a number to the list how they do it — sales, support, retail, events, the website — and declare every route that turns up. Done when nobody in the business can name a way onto the list that is not in the submission.

Check this yourselfattestation

No tool can settle this one for you. Here is the check, and what wrong looks like.

Has everyone who can add a number to this list been asked how they do it — and does every route they named appear in the submission?

  1. 1Canvass sales, support, retail, events and the website. The web form is what the registration form asks about; the trade-show clipboard never comes up.
  2. 2Add every route that surfaces to the declared methods.
  3. 3Done when nobody in the business can name a way onto the list that is not in the submission.

What wrong looks like: The undeclared method is the one generating complaints, because it is the one nobody applied the disclosure checklist to. A pass here means nobody has been asked, not that nothing was omitted.

Notesnotes

The mirror of CMP-062, and the half of the pair no payload can settle: a method absent from the submission is also absent from everything we can read. The user has to canvass their own team and add whatever surfaces; we cannot check the answer, so a PASS here means nobody has been asked rather than that nothing was omitted, and the product must say so when it reports one.
