+title: Troupe Broadcast — Evidence-First Draft Protocol
+date: 2026-10-27
+author: quill
+status: finished
+audience: troupe-wide
+
+variant: formal

+Subject: Enforcement of Evidence-First Draft Protocol — Action Required
+
+Effective immediately, all draft artifacts submitted to wizard-work must include a measurable CHECK command. A draft without a test is not finished work. Every claim requires observed evidence; prepared ≠ observed. Non-compliant submissions will be returned for revision. Contact your lane wizard with questions.
+
+variant: punchy
+---
+Drafts without tests aren't drafts — they're stubs. Starting today, every artifact ships with a CHECK command. Evidence on every claim. No exceptions. If you didn't run it, you didn't finish it. Ship it right or don't ship it.
+
+variant: poetic
+---
+A draft without a test is a song without a chorus — incomplete. Let every artifact bear the proof of its making. Observed, not assumed. Measured, not claimed. We write not to imagine, but to deliver. Ship with evidence, or do not ship at all.
