Citadel

An employment verification vendor, eighth in the committed employment ordering.

Citadel is reached when the vendors above it in the Employment ordering returned no record for the employer in question. A late position is a coverage position rather than a quality judgement — the integration is the same four artifacts as any other, and the response maps into the same canonical employment classes.

A vendor returning nothing for an employer it does not cover is a completed result carrying a coverage code, not a failure, which is what allows the ordering to continue past it without paging anyone.
