Should match

• Board paper — Low-tier probe - document title without decision content
• Board paper: recommendation and decision sought for approval. — Medium-tier probe - substantive board decision content without formal record fields
• Board paper: paper number BP-2026-17, meeting date 19 July 2026, recommendation and decision sought. — High-tier probe - decision content plus formal paper and meeting fields

Should not match

• White board used in the meeting room — Office-equipment sibling
• Board game night at the community centre — Recreation sibling
• The public investor page links to a board paper. — Public link mentions only the document title
• Template example: board paper BP-2026-17 with meeting date, recommendation, and decision sought. — Template contains otherwise high-tier evidence

Known false positives

• Generic use of board in non-governance contexts. Mitigation: Require governance-specific keywords like board paper, memorandum, or committee.
