## Why this rule exists

An artifact showing a different business is the clearest possible evidence that the consent was collected by someone other than the registrant, which is the consent-transfer problem the framework exists to prevent. It also catches the honest version — a screenshot borrowed from a sister brand because it looked similar enough.

## How to fix it

Supply an artifact from the registered brand's own consent surface. If the site trades under a different name, register that name as the DBA so the two match.
