• All files are valid Markdown
• All 8 card files reference charts using correct relative paths (../charts/)
• All 8 TOC links in deck.md resolve correctly (cards/card_0*.md)
• No broken image or link references

5. Cross-Reference Validation

PASSED

• claims.json total_cards field: 8 (matches generated card count)
• Key data points verified against source claims.json:
  • Card 1: CAPE 40.03, Buffett 219%, P/E 29.6 ✓
  • Card 2: Capex $55B (2020) → $605B (2026) ✓
  • Card 3: 5% GPU utilization, $401B invested ✓
  • Card 4: OpenAI $840B, Anthropic $900B ✓

6. Consistency Check

PASSED

• All 8 cards follow identical FIA structure (## Fact / ## Impact / ## Act)
• Citation format consistent: *(Source: [description])*
• Footer format consistent across all cards (*Last updated: ... | Sources: ...*)
• Two footer date formats used: "June 2026" (card 1) and "2026-06-05" (cards 2-8) — minor cosmetic variance, not a structural issue

7. Scope Check

PASSED (with minor note)

• No existing project files were modified
• All battle card files exist in the new output/battlecards/ directory structure
• Note: 4 test PNG files (test_*.png) remain in charts/ directory from chart generation testing. These are non-blocking but could be cleaned up.

Issues Found

• None (all 7 validation categories passed)

Recommendations

• Consider removing test PNG files (test_*.png) from output/battlecards/charts/ to keep the directory clean
• Standardize footer date format across all cards (either "June 2026" or "2026-06-05")
• Card 1 uses "June 2026" while cards 2-8 use "2026-06-05" — consider aligning for consistency
