Use dated decisions, resource assignments and reporting records that identify the applicant’s actual authority. Explain what happened after the decision rather than presenting an agenda as proof of control.
Connect decisions to their implementation
A meeting invitation proves participation, not necessarily authority. Pair a representative decision with evidence of who approved it, who acted on it and how the applicant supervised or directed the resulting work. Preserve any higher-level approval requirements.
Use accurate role records and relevant evidence of responsibilities at each stage. Shared meetings or targets can appear in both files, but the descriptions should identify different decisions, time allocations, and accountability. Financial statements, tax filings, contracts, invoices and payroll show that each entity is regularly and systematically doing business rather than dormant. A dated matrix should identify each continuing foreign duty, the person performing it, and a corroborating payroll entry, calendar, invoice, customer record, or signed agreement. Equal thirds on both sides is a strong position, but the proof has to be documentary: incorporation records, share registers and shareholder agreements for both companies, plus a chart showing each individual's percentage twice. Identify which legal entity employed the applicant during each period rather than describing the whole history under the current brand.
