# Editor-Not-Satisfied-Customer Scored Check: Chapter 03

goal clarity: 8/10
  evidence: line 9 establishes June's immediate want for a pencil/job; line 35 makes her cover public. Revision note: none needed.

conflict escalation: 8/10
  evidence: starts with empty-handed arrival; escalates to public bad drawing at line 67, modeled standing at line 105, and unit cleanup at line 125. Revision note: none needed.

revelation landing: 8/10
  evidence: line 99 "ugliest decent drawing" lands making-marks-again; line 109 lands public badness as survivable; line 137 plants scarf return. Revision note: none needed.

character consistency: 8/10
  evidence: June notices edges/marks and exits sideways; Theo converts relief to logistics line 163; Odile teaches by command; cohort care moves match cards. Revision note: none needed.

pacing: 7/10
  evidence: longest high-load stretch is lines 73-109, the drawing survey/rotation. It carries roll-call, failure, and revelation; watch density but no cut needed.

chapter close: 8/10
  evidence: final line 169 "went first" is action, with scarf and drawing in hand. Revision note: none needed.

prose quality: 8/10
  evidence: strongest paragraph line 107 disguised roll-call through seven drawings; weakest paragraph line 105 still slightly explanatory but repaired for clarity. Revision note: monitor "being looked at" phrasing; no blocker.

Chapter verdict: FOUNDATION-SOUND.
