5. Quality checklist — derived from ## Quality Criteria above, with pass/fail criteria @primary-producer can verify during drafting

Before sending to @primary-producer:

1. Send brief to @adversarial for presupposition review
2. (If @reference-manager in team) Send citation keys to @reference-manager for verification
3. Route any challenged assumptions back through @adversarial
