The 13 Adjudicative Guidelines

The 13 categories of security concern used when deciding clearances, ordered by how often they appear in the public DOHA record. Each page shows the public cases, the common issues, and the outcomes for that concern.

Almost everything above is weighed case by case. The narrow exceptions, where a law (not the judge) settles the outcome, are covered separately: the statutory bars.

Descriptive statistics from decided public DOHA cases. Not legal advice or a prediction.
