**Reasoning and extraction process**
1. **Reviewed each finding** – identified the core event, the parties involved, dates, and the reputational impact.
2. **Formulated atomic facts** – each fact was expressed in exactly two sentences, preserving the factual content without interpretation.
3. **Assigned confidence levels** – all facts are directly stated in the source material, so a confidence of **1.0** was given.
The **finding_confidence** is also **1.0** because each fact explicitly mentions “RAFO Onești” (the exact entity) and, where relevant, the industry (refinery) and country (Romania) are implicit in the context.
4. **Linked each fact to its source title** – the `source_finding_titles` field contains the title of the finding from which the fact was extracted.
5. **Ensured no duplication** – each fact reflects a distinct piece of information.
