| Category | Status |
|---|---|
| Legibility | Good |
| Bounded claim | Mostly good |
| Evidence visibility | Good foundation, needs sample output |
| Buyer usefulness | High for release hygiene and public repo prep |
| Overclaim risk | Moderate until non-goals are explicit |
| Next action | Add sample output, non-goals, and proof-pipeline link |
