  "implementation_angle": [
    "Implementation potential scores 71/100; prioritize adaptation paths for internal agent, evaluation, or platform workflows.",
    "No linked repository is present, so expect more translation work before the ideas are production-ready.",
    "Technical depth scores 100/100, so a quick skim should focus on architecture, data, and evaluation sections before full adoption work."

  "caveat": "The strongest evidence comes from simulated settings, so operational impact may be less certain in live systems.",
