Looked for, not found

  • Unable to confirm whether Adam MacRae-Martin stood for/served on the Ōrākei Local Board — the Facebook snippet mentions this but the page itself was inaccessible (403 error). No secondary-source corroboration found.
  • Adam MacRae-Martin's specific educational qualifications (university, degree, dates) — LinkedIn and RocketReach reference education entries but LinkedIn was blocked (403) and specific degree details not publicly confirmed from accessible sources.

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.
