The README described features and commands that the repository does not ship. An interviewer copying the quick start would hit errors immediately.

README claimed	Reality
pipx install verdict-edge	Not on PyPI (pypi.org/pypi/verdict-edge/json → 404)
verdict-edge mine --config config/alpha_pipeline.yaml --backtest	No [project.scripts]; no CLI; no config/ dir
Ingestion (Polymarket websocket), Execution Gateway, retries	Not implemented; library evaluates plain dicts only
Filter pipeline with AND/OR/NOT	AND-only compound rules (evaluate_compound)
Feature pipeline: rolling stats, regime detection, microstructure	Series operators (zscore, rolling_corr, rank, crosses) only
"Native verdict-risk gate", "Backtest native tearsheet", OpenTelemetry spans	No imports / no otel dependency
Links to RuVector / Ruflo	No code dependency

The new README describes what ships: FeatureEvaluator, ExpectedValueGate, and build_strategy_receipt, with source paths and scope boundaries. The quick start is from source.
