  "summary": "All eight supplied mechanical checks and all eight release gates pass, the two-execution result hash matched, and none of the six specialist reviews carries a blocking finding (blocking_finding_count 0). The SearchDemandBrief is people-first, names a distinct evidence gap, and is not a thin variant (thin_variant_of null). The model-authored title stands alone after the series label and dek are removed: it names the population (outdoor and open-roof NFL games), the exposure and comparison (15+ mph versus sub-10 mph), the measured outcome (3.8 fewer combined points), and the time frame (2018\u20132025), and it is narrower and more accurate than the broad canonical title. Email subject likewise names population, outcome, comparison, and years. Every number in the lead, body, dek, email copy, table_ref, and figure_ref reconciles to analysis.primary_effects, adjusted_per_5_mph, and sample. Uncertainty and limitations sit adjacent to the claims they qualify: intervals accompany each difference, the observed-versus-forecast boundary is stated in the lineup section and the caveat callout, the 31-game 20+ mph tail is flagged wherever it appears, and venue/opponent confounding is disclosed in body, callout, and limitations. Prose reads as authored, headings are specific, and structure follows the evidence rather than a template. Remaining items are bounded warnings (dek says 'Above 20 mph' for an at-or-above bin; 'secondary outcome' wording differs slightly from the claim ledger's 'unregistered exploratory'; combined-points gap not translated to per-offense scale) and shared-asset notes that do not require changes before publication.",

It is narrower and more accurate than the canonical 'NFL Passing Efficiency and Scoring at 15+ MPH Wind'.",

      "check": "Dek threshold wording versus bin definition",
      "evidence": "Dek closes with 'Above 20 mph, only 31 games exist', but analysis.sample.games_at_or_above_20_mph = 31 and the chart, caption, and body all use '20+ mph' (at or above). 'Above 20' reads as strictly greater than 20.",
      "recommendation": "Prefer 'At 20+ mph, only 31 games exist' in the dek so the standalone surface matches the bin definition. Bounded imprecision; not required before publication."

      "evidence": "Subject 'Outdoor NFL games at 15+ mph wind: 3.8 fewer combined points vs sub-10 mph, 2018\u20132025' names population, outcome, comparison, and frame. Preview names 1,323 outdoor/open games, 2018\u20132025, the three lower outcomes, and the comparison group; 'dropback rate' omits the 'neutral early-down' qualifier used everywhere else, and '20+ mph is still thin' is informal shorthand but its object (the 20+ mph sample) is named in the same line.",

      "check": "Combined-points magnitude versus single-offense reader use",
      "evidence": "Lead and lineup section say 'roughly four fewer combined points'; the outcome is consistently labeled 'combined', but fantasy readers manage one offense, so the per-team implication is about half the quoted gap.",

Guidance ('supports shading a passing game's expectations down') is bracketed by 'does not justify benching a starter on wind alone' and the forecast disclaimer.",
