Public Reading Boundaries — what an Observatory reading never claims.
Attestation Standard — scope, basis, window, source, and limitation travel with every card.
Ranking vs Behavior — a single observation is one behaviour, not the whole picture.
Business Market vs Positioning Surface — a spotlight reads the surface, not the business market.
