01 / EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

What the evidence
establishes.

OLAF traced and analysed a cross-border route distributing more than 200,000 counterfeit condoms bearing the name and logo of a well-known brand.

02 / WHAT HAPPENED

From accepted signal
to real consequence.

OLAF traced and analysed a cross-border route distributing more than 200,000 counterfeit condoms bearing the name and logo of a well-known brand.

03 / CLAIM-TO-CONSEQUENCE CHAIN

Four stages.
One missing boundary.

The chain distinguishes what appeared valid, what was physically true, which authority followed and what consequence the source documents.

01 / DIGITAL CLAIM

What appeared valid.

Branding, packaging and sales presentation claimed the products were genuine protective products from an established manufacturer.

02 / PHYSICAL REALITY

What was present.

OLAF identified untested, uncontrolled counterfeit products from a common source in China.

03 / AUTHORITY & ACTION

What proceeded.

The products were sold in Europe and accepted for use as health-protection devices.

04 / DOCUMENTED IMPACT

What the source records.

OLAF warned of sexually transmitted infection exposure and placed original-market value above EUR 200,000; no individual case count was reported.

MISSING TRUST BOUNDARY / 4SI ANALYSIS

Unit- or batch-level verification connecting the physical product to manufacturer and quality evidence.

04 / ECONOMIC CONSEQUENCE RANGE

Evidence before
false precision.

ECR separates a documented monetary floor from a modeled social and economic consequence envelope. It is not an accounting loss figure.

UNCERTAINTY

The range combines documented facts with calibrated consequence and response-cost assumptions; it is not an accounting loss figure.

05 / 4SI ANALYSIS

Source fact and inference
remain separate.

Volumes, route and stated hazards are OLAF facts. 4SI supplies the missing-boundary analysis.

CONNECTION TO THE PRESENCE THESIS

Brand identity created an expectation of tested physical protection that the actual objects could not substantiate.

ANALYTICAL LIMITATION

4SI does not claim to have independently verified the underlying event. Scores, boundary analysis and economic ranges interpret published evidence; they are not probabilities, compliance findings, valuations or loss forecasts.

FROM EVIDENCE TO CONTROL

Presence belongs at the
moment of consequence.
