  "summary": "All mechanical gates pass, the SearchDemandBrief is people-first with a distinct evidence gap, and no blocking specialist finding remains. The title, dek, email subject/preview, and verdict each stand alone with population, outcome, and comparison frame named; the precipitation non-result and 2024 data-through scope are preserved adjacent to the claims. Warnings (season coverage, 87.6% coverage with 311 unresolved requests, HRRRv3 temperature interval near zero, figure caption/alt completeness, bootstrap seed documentation) are disclosed or bounded and do not require changes before publication.",
  "findings": [
    {
      "severity": "warning",
      "check": "freshness_disclosure",
      "evidence": "data_through is 2024 while expected_season is 2025; minimum_season 2024 is met under latest_completed_season mode and the article discloses the exclusion in the callout, limitations, and body.",
      "recommendation": "Keep the season-coverage callout prominent and refresh the scorecard once the 2025 season completes."
    },
    {
      "severity": "warning",
      "check": "missingness_disclosure",
      "evidence": "311 of 2,516 registered archive requests (12.4%) are unresolved and excluded; coverage is 87.6% and disclosed.",
      "recommendation": "If unresolved requests cluster by stadium, season, or era, disclose that clustering; otherwise current disclosure is adequate."
    },
    {
      "severity": "warning",
      "check": "claim_strength",
      "evidence": "HRRRv3 temperature interval (-0.253 to -0.038) barely excludes zero and no multiplicity correction is applied across six paired differences.",
      "recommendation": "Retain the modest-margin framing; avoid escalating to strong-significance language for the HRRRv3 temperature result."
    },
    {
      "severity": "warning",
      "check": "precipitation_calibration",
      "evidence": "Precipitation forecasts are degenerate binary calls (p=0 or p=1) with observed rain rates at p=1 of 0.52-0.61.",
      "recommendation": "Do not imply calibrated rain probabilities; the article's current framing (binary rain call scored, edge unproven) is acceptable."
    },
    {
      "severity": "note",
      "check": "figure_caption_alt_completeness",
      "evidence": "Figure caption and alt text omit population, 2018-2024 frame, per-panel units, and metric names; the figure shows group means rather than the paired-difference estimand.",
      "recommendation": "Improve caption/alt text in a future release; not required before publication since paired differences are carried by the table and text."
    },
    {
      "severity": "note",
      "check": "reproducibility_seed",
      "evidence": "Deterministic rerun hash is asserted but the bootstrap seed is not surfaced in the evidence.",
      "recommendation": "Record the seed in reproducibility.json for independent verification."
