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.

Recommended next move

Benchmark review not applicable

This foundation is currently typed as University, so the benchmark completion score is not the right readout.

What to do next
Build the verified grant layer

Link report-backed grantees or relationship rows so the review is not relying only on program surfaces.

Seed recurring year memory

Create program-year rows so recurring strands can be reviewed across years instead of only as static profile text.
