  "decision": "pass",
  "summary": "All mechanical gates pass, all six specialist reviews return pass with no blocking findings, and the SearchDemandBrief is people-first with a distinct evidence gap. The article reports a registered null result accurately: volatility is defined before interpretation, Holm-adjusted uncertainty sits beside every estimate, nulls are framed as nulls, and the observed-versus-forecast boundary is preserved in the lead, methods, and limitations. The title names the population, outcome, and time frame and stands alone; the dek, email subject/preview, and distribution copy each carry the comparison frame and denominators. Remaining findings are disclosed, bounded limitations or optional enhancements that do not require changes before publication.",
  "findings": [
    {
      "severity": "note",
      "check": "shared_asset_caption",
      "evidence": "Figure caption and alt text omit the 101/806/907 game counts and do not state that all interval bars cross zero.",
      "recommendation": "Shared-asset defect inherited from the accepted base study; record for the next refresh, do not block or revise this variant."
    },
    {
      "severity": "note",
      "check": "uncertainty_channels",
      "evidence": "Bootstrap intervals and p-values computed by the analysis are not surfaced alongside the HC3 intervals in the article or table.",
      "recommendation": "Optional enhancement for a future version; HC3 intervals with Holm adjustment already satisfy the uncertainty requirement."
    },
    {
      "severity": "note",
      "check": "exclusion_transparency",
      "evidence": "The 1,220 excluded rows are bucketed as a single 'outside_registered_contrast_or_incomplete' category.",
      "recommendation": "Split by reason in study-decisions.json on the next refresh; not required for publication since denominators reconcile and the contrast is registered."
    },
    {
      "severity": "warning",
      "check": "source_recency",
      "evidence": "Weather observations stop at the 2024 season while football data run through 2025; the freshness minimum of 2024 is met and the cutoff is disclosed in the title, lead, methods, and limitations.",
      "recommendation": "Retain the visible limitation; extend the comparison when NOAA data for 2025 becomes available."
