Morrow OS is a dependency-free local browser smartphone simulation with a plausible complete implementation of the B01 brief. Static inspection confirms 8/8 core feature signals, a local Node server, original SVG assets, zero external CDN/eval usage, and QA artifacts reporting 6 core tests, 21 browser scenarios, 8 final scenarios, and a clean server lifecycle with no observed runtime errors or external requests.

Strong, production-oriented Blender mining drone submission with valid editable source, self-contained GLB, three distinct renders, coherent metric scale, semantic hierarchy, and robust real-time topology (112,260 triangles, 0 degenerate faces, 100% unit normals, 32/32 articulated pivots at joint bounds). Deterministic evidence verifies required drill/gripper assemblies, side propulsion, PBR materials, embedded textures, Godot-compatible tangents, and clean GLB round-trip.

The submission is a complete Godot 4.7.2 project that imports the authentic Astra B02a Max MN-04 GLB with recorded SHA-256 and source path, and implements a procedural quarry mission with movement, mining, HUD, completion, restart, synthesized audio calls, and automated mission/edge tests. Deterministic inspection confirms a valid GLB, project config, launcher, modular scripts, and collision/mining logic.

Blend 83.4, capped at 80

Alder & Vale is a well-engineered, self-contained estate agency site with 116 source files, comprehensive test coverage (22/22 Node tests, 53/53 browser checks), and all 8 core feature signals detected. The submission demonstrates strong engineering discipline with documented build process, QA evidence, and a single-command launch. Visual design quality and interactive polish require live browser confirmation but the codebase structure and asset pipeline are exemplary.

Blend 87.2, capped at 80

Strong, self-contained local browser implementation with verified launch, simulation, win/loss, restart, official Oliver asset integration, and extensive automated QA. The main uncertainty is visual polish: no screenshots are included in the output dossier, so HUD legibility, feedback clarity, Oliver scale/grounding, and character state animation cannot be fully visually verified.
