Still, it was a brief breach of the 'do not modify data/' constraint. It is disclosed honestly.", "suggested_fix": "None needed beyond the disclosure.

The framing is appropriately hedged, so this is not misleading.", "suggested_fix": "Optionally label the SE claim as supplementary or 'not_evaluated'."},5 {"id": "R3", "severity": "minor", "location": "out/report.md (Data and exclusions)", "issue": "The revenue-per-employee check that supports the unit conversion is described but its numbers are not in results.json. I re-checked it: the median revenue per employee is 0.242 M USD for USD_millions rows vs 0.237 for converted USD_thousands rows, so the claim holds, but it cannot be traced from the deliverables.", "suggested_fix": "Add the per-unit revenue-per-employee summary to results.json or the report."}6 ],7 "summary": "analysis.py reran in a scratch copy and reproduced results.json, analytic.csv and exclusions.csv exactly. I checked the counts independently: 445 rows; 400 firms (355 appear once, 45 appear twice, and every duplicate pair is identical); 6 firms with missing revenue (7 raw rows); 394 analysed firms; 60 firms reporting in USD_thousands. The exclusion ledger chains correctly (445→400→400→394) and analytic.csv has 394 rows. The code reads only data/firms.csv. The baseline is computed on raw rows as the task specifies, and mean_employees uses all 400 firms. The claims match the numbers and are suitably caveated. Only minor presentation issues remain."}8
