description	Before writing final answers, validate that all required evidence has been extracted, multi-hop traversal was executed, and answers are complete against expected values.

Evidence Validation Checkpoint Skill

Step 1: Verify Tier Extraction Completeness

• Confirm Tier 1 (explicit reviewers) extracted from all artifacts
• Confirm Tier 2 (Slack/transcript contributors) extracted with substantive feedback filters applied
• Confirm Tier 3 (other contributors) identified
• Document what was found in each tier

Step 2: Validate Multi-Hop Traversal Execution

• Confirm traversal was actually performed (not skipped)
• Verify all artifact references were followed
• Confirm reviewers from referenced artifacts were included
• Print the traversal paths taken

Step 3: Check for Missing Items

• For each question, compare extracted answers against known required items
• Identify any missing names/IDs
• Trace back to find where each missing item should have been extracted from
• Re-extract if needed

Step 4: Validate Meeting Participant Rule

• Review all extracted names from meeting transcripts
• Confirm each person actually spoke and provided substantive feedback
• Remove any names that were only listed in participants arrays
• Document any removed names and why

Step 5: Deduplicate Final Answers

• Remove duplicates within each question's answer list
• Maintain alphabetical or logical ordering if applicable
• Verify list format is correct (always a list, never string)

Step 6: Confirm Before Writing

• Print final answers for all questions
• Verify answer counts are reasonable (not zero when expected to have results)
• Confirm token counts are numeric values
• Only proceed to JSON output if all validations pass
