Validation_Metrics reports the package-level counts and summary metrics used in the manuscript.2. Consistency_Checks records cross-workbook identifier and component checks.3. Parameter_Registry records frozen anchors, level adjustments, coefficient profiles, uncertainty settings, utility profiles, and deterministic search conventions.4. Target-state construction is stored explicitly in the pathway workbook through Target_Baseline_Anchors, Role_Demand_Codes, Target_Vectors_L5, and Role_Importance_Weights.5. The worked example in the manuscript corresponds to the workbook-visible L0400_Sensitivity and Manuscript_Examples sheets.6. Each workbook begins with a Workbook_Guide sheet stating scope, evidentiary status, and companion-file dependencies.
