I went back to the drawing board and completely redrafted all my evidence, switching from OC3 to OC4. Previously accepted for OC2.

Wasn’t expecting my application to be endorsed considering the timeline for my second application had a lot of views. But this proves that each application works differently.

Thanks so much for all the incredible insights in this community!
