What the checker asks, and what it does not

Every number below is quoted from an official page, and a daily check re-reads every source. On this route — quoted and dated · scored — 2 conditions this interview did not ask and 1 condition in our own words, not the authority's. Every rule that decides this route is a question you answer; two conditions the authority states — a real business activity in the company and its group, and three months of unbroken prior work with it — are listed with the rules below and never asked. The three years of experience it accepts instead of a degree have no window, so your answer about the last seven years stands in for them.

Our reading, not the authority's words
  • Our question asks about the last seven years; article 73.2 names no window for its three, so three or more there meets the rule, and experience older than seven years — which the law also counts — is not something this card can see.
