commit counts mislead, which is exactly why the post leans on the payment records, not the commit graph, for anything load-bearing.

I meant just in general for this type of work. I did this exact same analysis for all proposals a few weeks back. My findings were a bit different. I did look at some other stuff your AI probably missed. hehe.

The private repo is the one point I can't do anything with. If significant work isn't public, nobody outside the team can verify it

Yeah, sure. Just saying as a response that stuff is being worked on.
