   3 flagged findings: an unverified CCNA passing-score figure ('825/1000 historically') presented alongside its own 'Not published' label, an internal contradiction since Cisco has never disclosed a numeric CCNA passing score in any format; a quote attributed directly to Dr. Gregory Cizek's book with no page reference; a quote attributed to 'ISACA CAT Implementation Documentation' discussing CISSP CAT mechanics, but CISSP is administered by ISC2, not ISACA -- a mismatched/unverified organizational attribution.

   Before

   Table cell read "Not published (around 825/1000 historically)" for CCNA passing score; a quote attributed directly to Dr. Gregory Cizek's book; a quote attributed to 'ISACA CAT Implementation Documentation' about CISSP CAT mechanics (CISSP is administered by ISC2, not ISACA); reference list included an ISACA CISM/CISA CAT documentation entry.

   After

   CCNA passing score cell corrected to plain "Not published" (removing the unverified historical figure); both quotes de-attributed to unattributed prose; the mismatched ISACA reference-list entry removed, keeping the correct ISC2 CISSP reference.

   Why: Removed an unverified numeric figure that contradicted its own 'not published' label, de-attributed two unsourced quotes, and removed a mismatched organizational citation (CISSP is ISC2, not ISACA).
