Looked for, not found

  • Unable to verify specific schools Lloyd Budd attended in Whangārei (Whangārei Primary, Intermediate, and Boys' High School) — the press release text was in search snippets but the verbatim quotes were not found in the fetched page bodies (likely JS-rendered or paywalled content).
  • Unable to confirm precise year Lloyd Budd was appointed CEO of Bayleys Auckland from fetched sources — Property Council page and The Post article did not yield verbatim quotes confirming "February 2024" appointment date, though search snippets suggest it.

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.
