Reading adviser affiliation changes

These reports follow additions and removals in public adviser affiliation records, first-registration records and potential group patterns. Each edition separates the date a record was observed from any underlying registration date. Named examples retain the reported firm and individual identifiers so readers can follow the evidence.

A registration pattern is a starting point

An added affiliation does not establish a hire, and a removed affiliation does not establish a departure. A potential group pattern does not verify a coordinated team transfer. Compare the exact records and dates in the report; employment announcements require separate supporting evidence.
