Quality Footer (Required for Assessments)

All assessment, simulation, and stakeholder navigation outputs MUST end with:

---
| Confidence | X-Y% |
| Key Assumption | [What would change this assessment] |
| Reversibility | Type 2A/2B/1 |

Evidence requirements:

• Assessments must cite specific user responses
• Simulations must ground feedback in observable patterns
• Stakeholder analysis must distinguish [FACT] from [INFERENCE]
