The short answer.
Corrections and concerns is the Innovation Nexus route for challenging a finding, reporting an error or raising a privacy or safeguarding concern about its work on innovation. Each report receives a reference and is reviewed, where possible, by someone not involved in the work; the outcome is a published new version with its history, or a reasoned decline.
Report to outcome.
