description: Perform the final submission-level audit of mathematical-modeling workflow integrity, evidence quality, anti-fabrication, paper coherence, figures, references, and contest readiness after consistency and completeness audits pass.
---

# Preconditions

- `rigor_profile` is `submission`.
- All Qx reached G5.
- Final consistency and completeness audits exist.

# Audit Dimensions

1. **Workflow integrity**
   - G1–G5 passed per Qx.
   - Human judgments trace to the decision ledger.
   - Main/baseline/fallback execution respected approved scope.

2. **Evidence integrity**
   - No fabricated data, references, experiments, metrics, or figures.
   - Main claims trace to frozen numbers and robustness evidence.
   - Limitations and uncertainty are visible.

3. **Method quality**
   - Baseline is usable.
   - Assumptions, units, objectives, constraints, and solution steps are coherent.
   - Output concentration/degeneracy and failure triggers were addressed.

4. **Paper quality**
   - Problem, method, results, and conclusions align.
   - Claims are proportional to tested comparisons.
   - Human-owned physical meaning and contribution are present.

5. **Presentation**
   - Required figures/tables exist and passed render checks.
   - Figure types are used correctly.
   - References are real, complete, and consistently cited.
   - AI-use disclosure follows the current contest profile and verified rules.

# Workflow

1. Read the two earlier audits and unresolved blockers.
2. Sample canonical sources directly; do not trust summaries alone.
3. Record blocking and nonblocking findings with artifact paths and repair owners.
4. Save `paper/qa_report.md`.
5. Set verdict:
   - `PASSED`
   - `FAILED`
   - `NOT_RUN`

# Rules

- Do not approve on partial audits.
- Do not use artifact count or bullet count as a proxy for quality.
- Do not repair issues inside QA.
- Do not hide uncertainty or downgrade a blocker silently.
- Do not claim compliance with time-varying contest rules without verification.

# Verification

- All five audit dimensions were evaluated.
- Blocking findings are explicit and actionable.
- QA verdict agrees with consistency/completeness verdicts and sampled evidence.
- Final assembly is recommended only when all three audits pass.
