Status: draft-for-human-review. Submission state: **complete-draft**.

## Per-essay checks report

| Check | Report |
| --- | --- |
| Identity and package | Chain 1, project 180, slug and title as assigned; artist credit 'hideo' per index (page byline 'HIDΞ0'). Seven files. |
| Structure and citations | 2,184 words; seven sections; 9 sources, all cited; five unresolved questions. |
| Source research | Collection page with sales notes, four index retrievals, renderer, three.js LICENSE r124, three.js ConvexHull example, NFT License summary. Gap: artist site failed to load. |
| Code | 10 parts, 65,717 bytes, SHA-256 matches record, evidence and renderer. Full read including embedded three.js modules. |
| Visual evidence | V01, V02 sustained with measured camera control tests; V03, V04 focused. Canvas pixel signatures are not usable for this WebGL renderer (no preserved drawing buffer), so camera state and screenshots were used instead. Silent. |
| Header | Three wallets vs 256 owners; one match, 180000025. |
| History and rights | Tiers reconstructed and labelled; UNICEF amount inferred only. Embedded MIT code flagged. |
