Serve Google security due diligence from the Core42 audit corpus rather than rebuilding it in a silo

Situation

Justin surfaced that a security organisation inside Google has been iterating on due-diligence requests for months - answers sent, then more questions, then demands for the actual documents, now a spreadsheet with links. Peter told him not to recreate the wheel, because the Core42 audit has already produced most of that material at a far deeper level. He confirmed he had read and approved the seven internal policy documents Steve sent him that morning, with one routed to Greg, and set the escalation line: involve Peter only if Google asks for something more technical than policy paperwork Steve can pencil-push.

Reasoning

Peter described the Core42 audit as a whole other level of crawling, which makes it a strict superset. A compliance corpus built to satisfy the harder auditor answers the easier one, so building a second corpus in a different part of the org is pure duplication. He raised the silo risk before seeing the document Justin was about to send, which makes it a structural concern rather than a reaction to content. The escalation line keeps him out of paperwork he approved a year ago while reserving his attention for the case where the ask turns technical.

Additional Context

Justin asked Peter to scan the material and confirm CIQ is not afraid to send any of it given where things stand with GDC. Peter answered at the altitude of the question - he read them that morning, approved them last year, considers them stupid but unobjectionable. Kelly Hall is already involved on the Google side.
