    "transcript_fidelity": {
      "status": "pass",
      "notes": "Brief accurately reflects the transcript. Company framing (7-year-old Amazon marketing agency, 26 people, full-service for premium DTC brands), first-time internal marketing build-out, and the ad hoc design coverage gap are all directly supported. Deliverables listed (website support, landing pages, sales collateral, client onboarding materials, newsletter/email, content) map to Rob's stated needs. Team structure (CMO-led, growth marketer, incoming Director of Marketing) is accurate. No invented facts; company name correctly left undisclosed rather than fabricated."
    },
    "role_alignment": {
      "status": "pass_with_note",
      "notes": "Public brief correctly frames this as an ongoing, execution-focused marketing graphic designer for asset production. IMPORTANT: structured data maps this to 'Graphic Designer (Paid Social)' (role_not_in_taxonomy flag), which is a mismatch — actual scope is general marketing asset production, not paid social. Internal notes correctly flag this. Ensure matching targets a general marketing production designer, NOT a paid-social specialist."
    },
    "budget_realism": {
      "status": "pass",
      "notes": "Agreed range $5,000–$7,000/month, midpoint $6,000 for matching. Agent stated $5K is the practical retainer floor and $7K yields a more senior shortlist; Rob confirmed. Realistic and viable for a mid-to-senior production designer on retainer. Budget correctly excluded from public brief."
    },
    "niche_requirements": {
      "status": "pass",
      "notes": "No specialized tools or platforms required (none discussed). Requirements are broad-generalist production skills across web, email, landing pages, and collateral, plus ability to apply an evolving style guide. DTC/eCommerce familiarity is a reasonable nice-to-have. No over-narrow niche constraints that would restrict the marketplace."
    },
    "single_marketer_feasibility": {
      "status": "pass_with_note",
      "notes": "A single hands-on production designer can feasibly own ongoing marketing asset production across the listed formats. Caveat: monthly asset volume is unknown (Rob lost service before answering), so scope/output expectations should be confirmed before or during the two-week trial to ensure one designer's capacity fits the actual load. Role is appropriately distinct from the separately-briefed Creative Strategist."

  "escalation": {
    "action": "advisory_note",
    "rationale": "Advisory GO — brief is accurate, faithful to the transcript, and matchable. Two non-blocking items for the recruiter/matcher: (1) The structured taxonomy label 'Graphic Designer (Paid Social)' is a mismatch; match to a general marketing production designer, not a paid-social specialist. (2) Monthly asset volume was never captured (client lost service mid-call); clarify expected output to validate single-marketer capacity and to calibrate the $5K vs $7K seniority target. Neither issue blocks matching.",
    "edit_or_question": "Confirm with Rob: (a) approximate monthly volume/mix of marketing assets expected, and (b) confirm the role is general marketing asset production (not paid-social focused) so we correct the taxonomy mapping before sourcing."
