- Judging · Selection to evaluate students and colleagues at department level indicates local regard only, not sustained national acclaim
- Membership · No evidence submitted that professional associations require outstanding achievements judged by recognized national or international experts
- Final merits · Petitioner failed to establish three required criteria; evidence shows successful academic and valued analyst but not extraordinary ability at very top
