Coherence report: 2026-03-15 (weekly)

Machine-derived by scripts/coherence.py; not an authored artifact; regenerable and safe to delete. These reports are observations, never cited as Evidence for a principle.

Findings

Coherence - 2026-03-15 (examples/sam-rivers)

Orphans:        0
Contradictions: not mechanically checkable, deferred to persona review (see script docstring / personas/skeptic.md)
Starved areas:  1
  area:health -> 0 dated evidence (domain 'health') in 21d
Over-capacity:  no (1 active project(s) (ceiling 3), 1 stalled (no last_moved in 7d), 1 active goal(s) (ceiling 3))
Stale:          0
Drift:          0

Mechanical findings only; ranking the single sharpest question is a persona judgment call (steering/coherence.md) that this script does not attempt.

Trend

No prior baseline: this is the first persisted coherence report in this directory. Later runs will show per-check deltas and finding streaks against it.
