Looked for, not found
- Wikipedia article text for Kahurangi Carter could not be extracted verbatim — all four extracted claims were rejected by the quote checker (page body did not match expected quotes).
- Exact dates of Kahurangi Carter's roles at the Ministry for the Environment and Kōhanga Reo employer could not be confirmed from public sources within this run's budget.
- Kahurangi Carter's specific degree or qualification from the University of Auckland (beyond "psychology and philosophy") could not be verified via a fetchable public source within budget.
The agent checked these topics across the allowed public sources but
could not find verbatim-quotable evidence. Absence doesn't rule the
fact out — it just means no journalist-accessible source
covered it at run time.
