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
4/8 signals complete

4 stability signals still missing across the pair.

Recommended next move
Geoffrey Cumming Foundation: Backfill governance roles

Add or reconcile board and leadership visibility so the foundation is legible at the people layer.
