What would change the assessment
- If GAESA publishes audited financial statements or appears in Cuba's national budget within 365 days, the claim of total opacity is weakened. (within 365 days — Cuban government official gazette, GAESA public filings)
- If Venezuela's military-linked entities (e.g., BANFANB, CAMIMPEG) are dissolved or subjected to public financial audits within 730 days, the report's warning of entrenched capture is contradicted. (within 730 days — Venezuelan official registry, Asamblea Nacional records)
