Contradiction (failure modes)	25	20 (acknowledged: customization risk)
Evidence trail	30	25 (cross-references to canonical docs)
Anti-patterns clean	20	18 (no fake metrics)
TOTAL	100	88/100 → Certified

Note: When you customize this template, recompute your FDE Assurance Score with your actual evidence.
