The live split is whether §806's remaining problem is pre-filing credit to a company EthicsLine, or a same-decision file the employer authors after the report. Yesenia Guitron v. Wells Fargo is the named public case the opening analyst should be scored against: she used the Ethics Hotline; the Ninth Circuit credited Wells Fargo's sales-goal chronology. Competing account: ordinary same-decision proof, not a special routing of credit before any dispute is named. Discriminator: would a starting allocation at OSHA filing have changed that result, or only a rule that post-report performance write-ups cannot carry clear-and-convincing. Author dispositions stay author-owned.
