# Adversarial Empirical Review
Runs a regression-gated, N-round adversarial loop over a project's empirical output. The
design is in `docs/2026-06-08-adversarial-empirical-review-design.md` (v2) and the module API
in `docs/CONTRACTS.md`. Read the design before operating the skill.
The costly error here is corrupting a result that was already correct, so the whole pipeline is
incumbent-preserving: a hard failure-set regression gate, "no clear difference keeps the
incumbent" for residuals, and minimization of LLM judgment in favour of mechanical checks.
**The crux is whether the tables are correct.** Auditing an empirical manuscript means verifying
that the numbers in its tables are what the analysis code actually computes — that each
coefficient, standard error, p-value, N, and R² reproduces from the data and the code and is
internally consistent. This is an empirical + code review: the battery, the reviewer, and the
drafter are all scoped to **table-number correctness**, the manuscript is consulted only as the
spine that maps paper Table numbers to fragment files, and prose is not examined (the
prose-scanning catalog checks default to off; research-design and interpretation critique are out
of scope, with the consequential-category machinery retained as a fail-safe). The mechanical anchor for this is
`builtin.table_source_agreement` (every estout-fragment cell is audited against a `numbers.json` of
computed values) together with the reproduction tier and the coef/SE/t, sta
