# Editor-Not-Satisfied-Customer Scored Check - Chapter 18

id: editor_scored_check | owner: codex | target: `output/chapters/chapter_18.md`

goal clarity: 9/10
  evidence: June wants to keep moving without class, Theo, or panic-accepting Tasker; the actions are scarf return, catalog boxing, studies, draft email, spackle.
  revision note: none.

conflict escalation: 8/10
  evidence: group chat/flyers, Mara's invitation, Asha's clock, and Tuesday post-office plan keep pressure external despite a quiet chapter.
  revision note: Ch19 must convert the private absence into public class consequence.

revelation landing: 8/10
  evidence: no new reveal, but June's new recognition is material: `"Standing... she could see the first pass differently"` and five leaving studies.
  revision note: none.

character consistency: 9/10
  evidence: June exits/cleans/paints; Mara smooths care and misfires; Asha speaks in practical deadlines.
  revision note: none.

pacing: 8/10
  evidence: the multi-day structure risks quietness but each day changes object state or obligation.
  revision note: watch for mid-act solitude density in Ch20.

chapter close: 9/10
  evidence: one nail hole filled; Tasker and Tuesday remain live.
  revision note: none.

prose quality: 9/10
  evidence: mechanical gate passes; Claude Positive Prose and Plain Translation verified repairs; current chapter is object-led.
  revision note: none.

Chapter verdict: `FOUNDATION-SOUND`.

REVISION ORDERS: none.
