Bridge pair

This pair crosses a benchmark foundation with a non-benchmark candidate. Use it to see what evidence is already present on the candidate side and what still separates it from the stable review set.

Backlog lane
General backlog

This pair does not collapse neatly into one missing layer, so the full backlog is the right next surface.

Review stability
Current estimate
Needs more build before stable review

The current pair still lacks enough verified evidence depth. Governance and year memory exist in places, but the review would still lean too heavily on inferred data.

Progress to stable review
5/8 signals complete

3 stability signals still missing across the pair.
