A LinkedIn recommendation for a vendor names a Riverfront Promenade rebuild that does not appear on the city's public project list. How should that mismatch be handled?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A glowing recommendation is a testimonial, not a purchase order. If the city's public project list never heard of that promenade, write down both facts. The mismatch is the finding.
Full Explanation
Social proof on LinkedIn can contradict municipal records. The researcher records the recommendation's project claim and the absence from the official public list as a finding, then seeks further public corroboration. A recommendation is not proof the city executed the work. Discarding the social artifact or assuming the city list is wrong without checking other public sources both skip the comparison.
