We have satisfactorily concluded a review of the results of the *spin-induced-quadrupole-moment-test* for 17 events (12 events from O3a and 5 events from O1+O2). The events are listed below (and are signed off with green check marks). The test has been performed using a LALInference based code, and the details of code and its review can be found on [this page](https://git.ligo.org/nv.krishnendu/lalsuite/-/wikis/Home). For all events except GW190412, the IMRPhenomPv2 waveform has been used as a baseline model, whereas for GW190412, the IMRPhenomPv3HM model has been employed. The results for each event we signed off are consistent with GR as expected. The spin-induced quadrupole moment parameter occasionally rails against the prior bounds, particularly for the less-constraining events -- this is a generic feature also seen in the injections. Correlations between the various parameters are consistent with what has been observed in injection studies. We note that this review does not include GW190814, for which we could not gather any IMRPhenomPv3HM results on time for the MT approval of the O3a-TGR paper. No results were obtained for GW190425 since the event was removed from the paper.
