  "summary": "The single figure and single table are accurately referenced from the article text, and every visible number matches the supplied results (1,258 observed games, 98.1% coverage, 184 of 2,516 forecast requests, 24h/6h cutoffs). The figure is a schematic rather than a data chart, so axis/unit contracts do not apply; its alt text conveys the research-vs-challenger separation, which is the figure's central claim. Two bounded warnings: the figure caption's 'through the 2025 NFL season' frame sits against an observed-weather layer that extends only through 2024 and a forecast archive whose provenance seasons end in 2024, and the table caption is generic where naming the population (NFL games/forecast requests) would strengthen standalone readability. Neither overstates the analysis: the withheld challenger is consistently labeled as not in production.",

      "evidence": "Figure caption: 'Fourth Down Labs weather evidence path through the 2025 NFL season.' analysis.json#observed_weather.data_through is '2024' and the HRRR provenance entry lists seasons 2018-2024, while only football inputs run through 2025.",
      "recommendation": "Reword the caption to 'through the 2025 NFL season (observed-weather layer through 2024)' or drop the season frame so the schematic caption cannot be read as claiming 2025 weather evidence."

      "check": "caption-completeness",
      "evidence": "Table caption 'The two weather layers have different timing, permissions, and current uses.' names no population or evidence frame; the rows themselves do carry the correct denominators (1,258 games; 184 of 2,516 requests).",
      "recommendation": "Extend the caption to name the population and time frame, e.g., 'NFL weather evidence layers, 2018-2025 seasons: timing, permitted use, and current standing.'"
