Deliverables

Acceptance gate

No royalty liability is asserted without contract terms and rights holder validation. Do not label this gate passed until supplied source records actually demonstrate it.

Verdict and next action

INCOMPLETE — evidence required. Request S3 and S4 from the authorized owner, reconcile them with S1 and S2, then repeat the four checks and log remaining conflicts. No production change, approval, communication, or test run is claimed.
