Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the Director incorrectly applied the legal standards for managerial capacity, conflating it with executive capacity and imposing evidentiary requirements not mandated by statute. The Director also improperly analyzed the roles of the beneficiary's second-tier subordinates and made an adverse determination based on the absence of evidence that was never requested.
