Quality Gate

Before delivering, verify:

• Every hypothesis has a verdict: Confirmed, Rejected, or Inconclusive
• Every verdict cites a specific number or data point (not "seems like" or "probably")
• Root cause statement includes gap percentage (e.g., "explains ~60% of gap")
• Every Inconclusive item has a concrete next step (what data, where, who)
