## Description

Judge a supplied subject against the project's evidence and constraints. Use when assessing an external-adoption question, a holistic take on a document, or a supplied approach set. Use for an oracle panel to consult other models and reconcile their opinions. Use ce-explain for understanding and ce-doc-review for findings review.

## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

# Form a Point of View

Produce a decisive, project-grounded point of view in the subject's own shape: a **graded verdict** on an external-adoption question, a **holistic take** on a document, or a **position** on a supplied approach set. The subject is whatever this skill was invoked with, in the prompt or the conversation. Stay read-only while forming and reconciling the POV. You are done when the POV is delivered with its attribution and required disclosure, or when an explicit blocker is returned. Use `ce-bakeoff` to develop competing solutions, `ce-ideate` to explore opportunities, or `ce-brainstorm` to establish goals.


## Grounding is not optional

**Never issue a POV you did not earn against the project's own context.** Every subject must meet the minimum project evidence (the **project floor**) in `references/method.md`. An external-adoption verdict must also meet the full external evidence bar there. A document or approach-set POV must verify against outside sources any external claim its bottom line depends on. Nothing the conversation asserts substitutes for grounding.

## Consumer and interaction

Deliver a supported position in the form the intended consumer can use. Lead with the decision and preserve the evidence, material tradeoffs, uncertainty, and conditions that determine it. Make identifiers understandable without requiring the reader to reopen the subject. In progress updates, say in plain words what you are checking and which model or helper is checking it. Never name this skill's machinery there (payloads, scouts, dossiers, tiers, round numbers, scratch files).

When contributing to an ongoing workflow, return the result and leave continuation to its owner, the calling workflow. Do not add follow-up or panel offers to that return. An explicit oracle or named-peer request still runs the panel, including when it comes from a calling workflow.

## Identify the question and return the result
