# Quality Bar

A slide passes only if all of these hold:

1. Every Japanese string matches the plan exactly: headline, subline, three labels, takeaway. No invented words, no missing characters, no garbled glyphs.
2. The slide reads clearly at thumbnail size: headline legible, diagram structure obvious.
3. The style is unmistakably Newspaper Front Page: off-white newsprint with grain, thin black column rules and a top double rule; left column with red feature flag, kicker, halftone photo and red-square item list; giant heavy black gothic headline with rough ink texture and a red closing word; lead deck between doubled red rules; one dominant row of boxed articles with solid red square number chips and halftone illustrations; exactly three solid red caption bands with letterspaced white labels and mincho caption lines; bold red gutter arrows; right column with black TODAY'S FACTS and KEY INSIGHT bars over boxed statistics; full-width bottom ruled box with red emphasis and red underline
4. The body contains ONE dominant metaphor from slide-recipes.md, not an equal card grid.
5. Exactly three labels, each readable.
6. No logos, QR codes, URLs, dates, prices, page numbers, watermarks, English body text, no real identifiable people, no celebrity likeness, and no real newspaper mastheads or publication names.
7. The slide belongs to the same family as samples/contact_sheet.png: same palette temperature, same shape language, same decoration density.

If any check fails, regenerate that slide before continuing.
