## Pre-Score Compliance Gate

| Check | Result | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Case fidelity | `pass` | The answer addresses `case-strategic-gated-diligence-001` directly and preserves the diligence-versus-launch distinction. |
| Required outputs present | `pass` | It includes a direct recommendation, confidence/uncertainty notes, and source/gap notes appropriate to the direct-answer arm. |
| Independence from other arms/examples | `pass` | No copied OfOne artifact or other-arm dependency is present. |
| No-superiority compliance | `pass` | It makes no benchmark or method-superiority claim. |
| Auto-reject before aggregate scoring | `no` | No pre-score reject condition was found. |

## Semantic Fidelity

- Case binding: Pass; raw Markdown metadata and answer target the benchmark case.
- Copied-example risk: Low.
- Evidence provenance adequacy: Public launch/risk-governance sources are used for general best-practice support; the answer correctly distinguishes those sources from missing case-specific evidence.
- Artifact/source identity: Raw Markdown output is bound to the benchmark run metadata and harvested from the completed ChatGPT Deep Research conversation.

## Scores

| Metric | Score | Rationale |
| --- | ---: | --- |
| decision_quality | 4 | Gives a clear gated recommendation: approve reversible diligence while withholding operational launch. |
| evidence_grounding_precision | 4 | Separates case facts from general launch-governance sources and names the missing case evidence. |
| uncertainty_calibration | 4 | Explicitly marks low confidence for domain-specific launch readiness and describes assumption failures that would change the answer. |
| trace_completeness | 2 | Better structured than a short direct answer, but still lacks object IDs, claim graph, and dependency closure by design for this arm. |
| auditability | 2 | Reviewable as prose with source notes, but not an auditable state object. |
| update_quality | 3 | Identifies positive and negative updates that would change the recommendation, but does not compute patch closure. |
| cost | 2 | Deep Research produced stronger source grounding but at higher runtime/search cost than local text arms. |
| inter_run_stability | NA | This is the first reviewed frontier-reasoning repeat for this slot family. |

## Required Notes

- Strongest decision-relevant contribution: It cleanly separates evidence-generating diligence from operational launch and assigns different gate states.
- Most important unsupported claim or missing evidence: It cannot assess domain-specific launch readiness without product scope, owners, compliance posture, rollback proof, monitoring, or approval records.
- Hidden variable or unknown that changed the review: Whether a true shadow/canary/dark-launch diligence move can be bounded and reversed in the actual operating environment.
- Gate, safety, or release concern: Operational launch remains closed until a minimum evidence packet and independent approval exist.
- Patch/update behavior, if applicable: New diligence results should update the recommendation blocker by blocker rather than globally.
- Failure mode observed: The answer is source-grounded prose, but it remains less traceable and less patchable than a full OfOne artifact.

## Adjudication

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