Development area (action): D06.04.E2 — breadth of experience including a higher-risk building is below floor (holds Bronze, requires Silver). Route: a supported HRB engineer-of-record appointment under a competent lead before independent HRB work; reassess. Until closed, do not appoint independently on HRB structural work.
Every credential traces to its SKEB requirement → assessment item → DRM source, is hash-sealed (CP-SPEC-07), and carries a verified #V status set by a competent person at a human-in-the-loop gate. No credential was issued automatically.
