Never invent a source, signer, signature, customer reaction, or acceptance. Keep outcomes **promised → measured → accepted** distinct, and implementation, verification, deployment, and customer acceptance separate. Missing evidence means unproven, not an observed failure.

Do not fetch, paste or read real customer material merely to assess it. Anonymisation does not grant permission.

+**First:** for a bound engagement, run `fde status`. It prints the value ledger before trust - promised → measured → accepted by, or `claimed, not yet accepted`. Keep the state of every important statement visible: **on record** is saved evidence, **proposed** is still a recommendation or interpretation, and **customer accepted** requires the named acceptance owner plus the required evidence. Check cited records through sanitized CLI views before making the claim. CLI output summarizes recorded text, not independently verified acceptance. For standalone work, build the same distinction from supplied permitted context without running engagement-only commands or initializing records. If a bound CLI is unavailable, use only permitted supplied excerpts and report the limitation. Never infer acceptance or fabricate missing measurements.
 
 **Qualify the evidence before drafting.** For each result, identify baseline source, measurement environment, observation window/sample, and the scope of acceptance. Report an informal baseline as reported and a staging sample as staging; neither establishes realized savings. “Looks good” without what was accepted is not outcome acceptance. Attribute an engineer's note as such; do not turn it into a direct customer receipt. If evidence conflicts, include the conflict and the next verification action rather than choosing the flattering version.
