  "summary": "Every central number in the model-authored draft traces to the supplied analysis: sample (1,323 of 1,487 games, 89% coverage, 1,251 dropback-rate games, 153/143 windy and 871/822 calm games, 31 games at 20+ mph), all four primary threshold effects with intervals, and the two cited adjusted per-5-mph estimates match analysis.primary_effects and analysis.adjusted_per_5_mph at the stated rounding. Both named artifacts (wind-primary-effects table, wind-offense-by-bin figure) are present in publication_assets with hashes, all nine nflverse source files have URLs, matching SHA-256 values across provenance and the evaluation run, an approved rights status, and the article's attribution and CC BY 4.0 license language match the provenance record verbatim. Estimand, forecast, extreme-wind, coverage, and confounding caveats are preserved. One warning: the average-target-depth null at the 15 mph threshold is supported only via the claim ledger's pointer to threshold-effects.csv rather than a value reproduced in the supplied analysis JSON; the adjusted estimate for that outcome does include zero, so the qualitative statement is consistent with supplied evidence.",

      "evidence": "The article states average target depth 'showed no supported difference at the 15 mph threshold.' The supplied analysis.json primary_effects contains only the four registered outcomes; the ADOT threshold row is referenced only via claim wind-adot-null pointing to data/threshold-effects.csv (listed in evaluation_run.artifact_hrefs but not reproduced in the bundle). The supplied adjusted estimate for ADOT (-0.030 per 5 mph, CI -0.106 to 0.046) includes zero, consistent with the qualitative claim, and no numeric value is asserted.",
      "recommendation": "Acceptable as a non-numeric, ledger-supported statement; if the threshold-effects table is later surfaced in the bundle, confirm the ADOT 15 mph interval includes zero."
