If none of this data exists, that would cause me to question exactly who is evaluating FiM, and how they are doing it. After all, that is the answer we were given when this program was leaked/announced: "This is an evaluation". I seem to remember one of the concerns voiced back then was that this would be a sham evaluation and the program would be declared a success regardless of what happens.

No Data = No Due Diligence?
