  "summary": "All mechanical gates pass, the SearchDemandBrief is people-first with a distinct evidence gap, and all six specialist reviews return pass with no blocking findings. The explainer makes no effect or accuracy claim, keeps observed weather prediction-ineligible, discloses the 184/2,516 forecast completion and the 2024 observed-weather lag prominently, and preserves uncertainty and limitations adjacent to the relevant claims. Distribution copy (title, dek, email subject/preview) stands alone without undefined shorthand or overclaiming.",

      "check": "figure-caption-season-frame",
      "evidence": "Figure caption reads 'through the 2025 NFL season' while the observed-weather layer extends only through 2024 (visualization_reviewer).",
      "recommendation": "Shared-asset defect; record as a note for the next asset refresh. Do not block or revise the article variant for it."

      "severity": "warning",
      "check": "table-caption-specificity",
      "evidence": "Table caption names no population or time frame, though rows carry correct denominators (visualization_reviewer).",
      "recommendation": "Shared-asset note; extend the caption in a future refresh to name the population and seasons."
    },
    {
      "severity": "warning",
      "check": "lead-scope",
      "evidence": "Lead's 'any weather claim' is broader than the evidence, which supports Fourth Down Labs' own claims (adversarial_reviewer).",
      "recommendation": "Optional softening to 'a Fourth Down Labs weather claim'; the closing paragraph already bounds the scope, so no revision is required."

      "severity": "warning",
      "check": "attribution-placement",
      "evidence": "nflverse CC BY 4.0 attribution exists in provenance but not in the article body (citation_checker).",
      "recommendation": "Ensure the published page or Research File carries the attribution; rights are approved, so not blocking."

    {
      "severity": "warning",
      "check": "attrition-context",
      "evidence": "Article discloses 184/2,516 completion but not why 2,332 requests remain incomplete (statistician).",
      "recommendation": "Consider one clause noting the archive backfill is in progress; disclosed and withholding is correctly triggered, so not blocking."
