    "transcript_fidelity": {
      "status": "pass",
      "notes": "Brief accurately reflects transcript: 7-year Amazon marketing agency, 26 people, premium DTC brands, first-time internal marketing build-out. Style guide refresh as primary need and 'maybe some' website implementation support are faithfully captured, including the explicit 'not ongoing' scope Rob stated. No invented facts. Company left unnamed, correctly matching both transcript and HubSpot (Deal 'Voice Agent - Rob' discloses no company name)."
    },
    "role_alignment": {
      "status": "pass",
      "notes": "Role framed as senior brand/creative strategist for a scoped, project-based engagement — consistent with agent's on-call framing ('brand marketer or creative strategist') and Rob's language ('creative strategist'). Deliverables (style guide refresh + website implementation support + setting foundation for downstream execution) align with transcript. Clean separation from the sibling ongoing graphic designer role."
    },
    "budget_realism": {
      "status": "pass",
      "notes": "Public brief correctly excludes budget. Underlying agreed range ($8-10K/month, ~one-month project, midpoint $9K) was accepted by MarketerHire as 'very workable' and confirmed by Rob. Realistic for a senior brand/creative strategist on a short project. Note: billing model labeled 'retainer' in schema while engagement is a one-month project — minor internal inconsistency, does not affect public brief."
    },
    "niche_requirements": {
      "status": "pass",
      "notes": "Must-haves (brand identity/style guide development, independent ownership of scoped project, clean handoff, translating brand into web/marketing application) are all supported by transcript and are reasonable, not over-constrained. Nice-to-haves (agency / DTC eCommerce familiarity) are appropriately optional."
    },
    "single_marketer_feasibility": {
      "status": "pass",
      "notes": "A single senior brand/creative strategist can plausibly deliver a style guide refresh plus light website implementation support within a ~one-month scope. The broader marketing asset production is correctly carved off to the separate graphic designer role, keeping this brief single-marketer feasible."
    },
    "identity_check": {
      "status": "pass",
      "notes": "Company correctly left unnamed; conflict/gap preserved in internal notes rather than fabricating a name or URL. Consistent with instruction to prefer verified name only when available."
    }
  },
  "escalation": {
    "action": "advisory_note",
    "rationale": "Advisory GO — brief is faithful, well-scoped, and single-marketer feasible. Two minor, non-blocking items for downstream awareness: (1) billing model is labeled 'retainer' in the structured budget while the engagement is explicitly a ~one-month project (trial_vs_ongoing_noted flag) — reconcile framing at agreement stage; (2) the extent of website implementation support is loosely defined ('maybe some support'), so scope creep risk exists — worth clarifying deliverable boundaries with Rob before kickoff. Company identity remains unknown; do not invent one.",
    "edit_or_question": "Confirm with Rob the intended boundaries of the website implementation support (advisory guidance vs. hands-on build) and align the billing label (project vs. retainer) with the one-month scope."
