8.0.7.0. A Discovery or Pathfinder decision cannot be appealed
Required May not apply Often forgotten
Stated in the sidebar alongside the Summit particulars: adverse decisions regarding the Discovery and Pathfinder ranks are not appealable. Worth knowing before the review, not after it.
Notes and warnings
Warning. There is no appeal from a Discovery or Pathfinder decision, which makes getting the review right the first time the only protection the candidate has. It also means a board that was composed wrongly cannot be put right afterwards by somebody else.
