# Editor-Not-Satisfied-Customer Scored Check - Chapter 10

goal clarity: 9/10
  evidence: "I don't know... it's all maintenance" states the actual obstacle under the assignment.
  revision note: none needed.

conflict escalation: 8/10
  evidence: pressure opens with Theo fixing the third easel and escalates to June's canvas showing "the tube of umber with its cap on." The close repeats the compulsion: "He tightened it anyway."
  revision note: none needed.

revelation landing: 8/10
  evidence: "She had put all of it there and stopped" lands the visual revelation without a speech. Near-miss: "everyone in the room had recognized them faster than he had" is slightly explanatory but supported by Luis/Mara/Odile reactions.
  revision note: none needed unless Dialogue/Comedy Doctor asks for thinning.

character consistency: 9/10
  evidence: Theo offers "rewax the flat-file runners," June says "That's a chore," Odile says "Sit in it." These match the voice cards.
  revision note: none needed.

pacing: 7/10
  evidence: the longest no-stake-shift stretch is the hand-painting technical paragraph beginning "The right hand first" at about 160 words. It earns its length by showing Theo looking at June's craft, but it is the first place to trim if later audits call the chapter over-controlled.
  revision note: none needed now.

chapter close: 8/10
  evidence: "where somebody would be one chair short, and he could fix that" ends on live recurrence of the wound, not summary.
  revision note: none needed.

prose quality: 8/10
  evidence: strongest paragraph: June's canvas reveal, especially "the panel taped and white, the palette paper clean, the tube of umber with its cap on." Weakest paragraph: "They were liked now. The story had been easy..." risks a little explanation but clarifies the social cost.
  revision note: none needed.

Chapter verdict: `FOUNDATION-SOUND`.

REVISION ORDERS: None.
