362-377: Add an “as-of” qualifier for external competitive claims.

The cross-framework analysis will age quickly. Add a short timestamp note (e.g., “validated on 2026-04-07”) near the external-source section so readers interpret claims in-time.

Also applies to: 855-866

around lines 362 - 377, Add an “as-of” qualifier next to the "### Source notes
from external research" heading by appending a short timestamp line (e.g.,
“validated on 2026-04-07”) so external claims are time-scoped; also add the same
timestamp note near the other external-source block referenced (the content
around lines that correspond to 855-866) to ensure both sections explicitly
state when the competitive/third-party claims were validated.

82-88: Tighten repeated sentence openings for readability.

A few consecutive lines start with the same pattern (“Not…”, “Phase…”). Minor rewording would improve flow without changing meaning.

Also applies to: 640-643

around lines 82 - 88, The three consecutive lines starting with the repeated
opener "Not the..." (and similarly the block around lines with "Phase..."
mentioned) should be varied for better flow: rephrase one or two of those
sentences to avoid the identical prefix (e.g., turn one into a positive contrast
or combine two into a single sentence), or use a leading clause to change
sentence rhythm while preserving meaning; locate the passages by searching for
the repeated starters "Not the" and "Phase" and update them so the sequence
reads more smoothly without altering the intended emphasis.

651-655: Use nested checklist indentation for parent/child tasks.

Several checklist blocks read as flat lists, which makes execution ownership less clear. Indenting child items under parent tasks will improve scanning and implementation tracking.
