Still to verify: vesting, automatic enrollment, Roth availability. These items stay out of the summary until a dated source confirms them.

What this tells you: company-wide scale, reported employer support, participation activity, visible administrative cost, and historical direction.

Keep in mind: public filings do not show employee investment returns. Scores use only available measures; missing information lowers confidence, never the score. Current match, vesting, eligibility, investments, and employee-paid fees still require a current plan document.
