  "role": "editor",
  "decision": "pass",
  "summary": "All mechanical gates pass, the SearchDemandBrief is people-first with a distinct evidence gap, and no blocking specialist finding remains. Numeric claims match the analysis exactly, the headline names population, outcome, and time frame, and association-only framing is preserved across surfaces. The TE and kicker results are honestly framed as intervals excluding zero with Holm p-values above 0.05, and the observed-versus-forecast boundary is explicit.",
  "findings": [
    {
      "severity": "warning",
      "check": "multiplicity_phrasing",
      "evidence": "TE and kicker Holm-adjusted p-values are 0.129, above the 0.05 threshold, while the dek and lead use 'supported' phrasing.",
      "recommendation": "The article already qualifies 'supported' immediately and in limitations ('consistent negative signal rather than a certainty'); keep that qualifier adjacent to every TE and kicker claim in any future promotion copy so readers cannot read 'supported' as statistically significant after correction."
    },
    {
      "severity": "warning",
      "check": "wr_uncertainty_divergence",
      "evidence": "For WR, the bootstrap interval excludes zero (p 0.0105) while the HC3 model interval includes zero (p 0.245); the article's 'not supported' framing rests on the model-based interval.",
      "recommendation": "Both intervals are reported as registered and the article relies on the registered model-based interval; a brief note acknowledging the bootstrap interval for WR would make the null-result framing more transparent in a future revision."
    },
    {
      "severity": "warning",
      "check": "source_recency",
      "evidence": "Weather data run through 2024, the latest available NOAA season, below the 2025 expectation but within the 2024 minimum; the article discloses 'through the 2024 season' in the title, lead, and methods.",
      "recommendation": "Disclosed and bounded; refresh automatically when NOAA 2025 data become available, and ensure promotion copy never implies 2025 coverage."
    },
    {
      "severity": "warning",
      "check": "distribution_copy_association_framing",
      "evidence": "Email preview reads 'Kickers and tight ends lose the most scoring in windy games'; the strongest residual risk is a reader converting observed-wind associations into pregame forecast advice.",
      "recommendation": "The article body explicitly disclaims forecast use and causal claims; retain association-only framing wherever the summary travels, including email and social copy."
    },
    {
      "severity": "warning",
      "check": "adjustment_scope",
      "evidence": "Controls exclude team quality, pace, and Vegas-total covariates; residual confounding from offensive environment is plausible.",
      "recommendation": "Acceptable under the locked registration and association-only estimand; the article does not overclaim full adjustment, so no change required."
