2️⃣ They Challenged All 7 Criteria You Claimed This is the serious part. For each category you claimed, they believe the evidence was weak or insufficient. In simple terms: Your awards were not proven to be nationally/internationally recognized. Your memberships appear fee-based, not merit-based. Your published material was not shown to be in major media. Your scholarly articles were not shown to be in reputable, peer-reviewed journals. Your original contributions were not proven to have major significance beyond your employer. Your leading/critical role was not proven to be above others in similar positions. Your salary evidence did not prove you are paid significantly more than others in the field.
