So in universe they have visited the Black Archive just not seen on TV, in an audio, in a book or in a comic Except, no. She doesn't say this. She says:
 * "Apologies. We have to screen all his known associates. We can't have information about the Doctor and the Tardis falling into the wrong hands. The consequences could be disastrous."

Nothing about every single companion visiting the Black Archives. Nothing about every single companion, at all -- just "all his known associates". That's totally different, as far as I'm concerned. Known to UNIT. Associates, not companions.

We have to rely on the script, not our memories of the script. And we need to use what's visually in the frame.

A better course of action is not to include a note on every single companions' page that they at some time made it to the Black Archive. Rather, we should assert only that the Black Archives had records on those companions, and only those companions, we can actually identify in one frame or another of the finished The Day of the Doctor.

So, in my view, Sara Kingdom is out, and Tegan is in. Lucie Miller is out; Nyssa is in. And so on.
