## Pre-Score Compliance Gate

| Check | Result | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Case fidelity | `pass` | The output answers the regulated wastewater market-entry case and preserves the no-broad-launch, scoped-diligence recommendation under the named case unknowns. |
| Required outputs present | `pass` | It includes run metadata, direct recommendation, evidence in hand, claims, unknowns, option moves, gates, update triggers, confidence notes, and source notes appropriate to the direct-answer arm. |
| Independence from other arms/examples | `pass` | The output is a direct-answer report and does not reuse OfOne object IDs, validator output, patch artifacts, or another arm result. |
| No-superiority compliance | `pass` | It makes no benchmark, method-performance, or OfOne superiority claim. |
| Auto-reject before aggregate scoring | `no` | No pre-score reject condition was found. |

## Semantic Fidelity

- Case binding: Pass; raw Markdown metadata, visible ChatGPT metadata, and the answer target `case-regulated-wastewater-market-entry-001`.
- Copied-example risk: Low; the report is conventional sourced prose and does not copy an OfOne artifact shape.
- Evidence provenance adequacy: Strong for the direct-answer arm; it cites public regulatory sources for NPDES, pretreatment, reclaimed-water reuse, operator, residuals, funding, and compliance claims while leaving case-specific gaps explicit.
- Artifact/source identity: Raw Markdown output, source download, conversation URL, visible completion metadata, review file, and execution-matrix run metadata identify the same benchmark run.

## Scores

| Metric | Score | Rationale |
| --- | ---: | --- |
| decision_quality | 4 | Gives a clear recommendation: no broad launch, yes scoped one-state diligence ending in a paid pilot or no-go. |
| evidence_grounding_precision | 4 | Separates regulatory opportunity from route-, jurisdiction-, influent-, residuals-, operator-, and customer-specific proof gaps. |
| uncertainty_calibration | 4 | Keeps confidence moderate and marks exact unknowns that block a launch decision. |
| trace_completeness | 2 | More detailed than a local direct answer, but still lacks typed object IDs, dependency graph closure, and patchable claim state by design for this arm. |
| auditability | 3 | The exported report is source-backed and reviewable, but not machine-validated as an OfOne artifact. |
| update_quality | 4 | Names concrete positive and negative triggers that would move the recommendation toward commercial entry, pilot/licensing only, or no-go. |
| cost | 2 | Deep Research produced stronger regulatory grounding but at high search/runtime cost for a direct-answer baseline. |
| inter_run_stability | NA | This is the first reviewed frontier-reasoning repeat for this case/arm/model family. |

## Required Notes

- Strongest decision-relevant contribution: It turns a broad market-entry prompt into a bounded diligence program with jurisdiction, influent, residuals, operator, partner, and customer gates.
- Most important unsupported claim or missing evidence: Texas as first-pass priority remains a source-backed diligence preference, not a launch decision, because no named site, POTW, influent packet, pilot result, residuals plan, or customer commitment exists.
- Hidden variable or unknown that changed the review: The discharge/reuse route and actual influent profile dominate the permit path and the treatment-proof burden.
- Gate, safety, or release concern: Broad operational launch remains blocked until site-specific regulatory, technical, residuals, operator, partner, and customer gates close.
- Patch/update behavior, if applicable: New evidence should update the recommendation by gate rather than globally.
- Failure mode observed: The result is strong sourced prose, but it remains less traceable, less patchable, and less machine-auditable than a full OfOne artifact.

## Adjudication

- Accept run for aggregate scoring: `yes`
- If no, reason: N/A
- Reviewer confidence: `medium`
