Phase 1 verdict: PASS. Banned-phrases scan on the deliverable HTML and jonathan.json: zero violations. The W7 tightening of banned_phrases.md (removing the 2-part-compound carve-out) caught the journey: Jonathan's config no longer says on a route, owner and operator, or family owned. Numeric ranges all use ASCII spaced hyphens ($500,000 - $2,000,000). Drafted three Slack reply templates for the slash-command surface (success, criteria-missing, run-failed), all in operator-to-operator voice with no banned tokens.
Did not pressure-test the buyer config copy rules against a buyer whose situation is wildly different from Jonathan's (e.g., a corporate-development VP at a $2B strategic buyer rather than a self funded searcher). The intro paragraph template assumes a "you've been searching" framing that won't fit every buyer.
Pattern observed in this thread that's worth banking: I let a 2-part-compound carve-out exist in banned_phrases.md and used it as license to ship on a route / owner and operator / family owned. Ewing pushed back hard and we removed the carve-out entirely. Lesson: rules with carve-outs become rules-of-permission, not rules-of-restraint. Tightened the master file, synced across all three canonical copies.
Operator to operator. Plain English. Every screen named. Every rule-out owned. Read it back as if Mark or Ewing were saying it across a kitchen table.
