Looked for, not found

  • Unable to extract verbatim claims from AUT PDF (2017 Top Graduates) or AUT news page confirming Lucian Plaumann as top graduate in Bachelor of Business (Honours) 2017 — search snippets confirm content but PDF extraction did not produce verbatim quotes.

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.
