## Behaviour when multiple policy target a common topic

Here’s a corrected and polished version of your text:

## Behavior When Multiple Policies Target a Common Topic

When multiple policies target the same topic, two scenarios can occur when a record is produced:

* **None of the policies block the record; all are evaluated:**

* The evaluation count is increased for all of them.
* The violation count is increased for each violated policy.
* A report is generated for each violated policy that has reporting enabled.

* **One or more policies would block the record. In this scenario, one of the blocking policies blocks the record first and hides it from the others:**

* For the first blocking policy, both the violation and evaluation counts are increased. If reporting is enabled for that policy, a report is generated.
* For the others: no counts are increased, and no reports are generated.
