ContentBench's handoff point also suggests a practical delivery check: open the final link and confirm that it reaches the intended public page. A typo, unexpected redirect or login requirement can turn an otherwise useful mention into a dead end.
For the publication itself, the report can record what was observed at review time, including whether the page loads normally and whether it carries a visible indexing restriction. That is an observation about the page, not a guarantee about any search engine's future decisions.
I would ask the provider to state when the final check was performed. If a page changes later, a dated record helps distinguish the original deliverable from the current state. This is especially useful when an intermediary does not control the publisher's website.
