Conciseness

Mostly efficient and free of basic-concept over-explanation, but weakened by redundancy (input source priority appears in both 'Input Sources' and Step 2; the --yield-floor warning, the regular-yield rule, and the failed/skipped-event-scan rule are each restated in Guardrails) and internal artifact codes (D3/D4/D5, 'CFR D5 fix', 'FITB/Comerica golden case', 'MKC-Unilever miss') that pad tokens without aiding execution. Not 3 because the redundancy and review-artifact references could be tightened; not 1 because it does not explain concepts Claude already knows.

Actionability

Provides copy-paste-ready commands with real flags, paths, and tickers (e.g. build_entry_signals.py --tickers "JNJ,PG,KO" --alpha-pp 0.5 --yield-floor 3.0 --profile balanced --events-json ...) plus concrete JSON input formats, exact verdict tiers, and precise thresholds (40/30/30 sizing, ±0.20pp freshness, 4.0/3.0/1.5% floors). Matches the fully-executable anchor.

Workflow Clarity

A clearly numbered 1-8 sequence (with 6b) carrying explicit fail-safe validation at nearly every gate — Data Freshness Gate => STEP1-RECHECK, adjusted_eps_source=UNAVAILABLE => HOLD-REVIEW, pessimistic cap => HOLD-REVIEW + T1 BLOCKED, pre-order blocker downsizing — plus a test merge-gate (test_golden_p0.py) and a re-run cadence as feedback. Not 2 because the checkpoints are explicit and pervasive, not implicit.

Progressive Disclosure

References are real, one-level-deep, and signaled inline at each step (Load references/default-thresholds.md; Use references/sector-step2-modules.md) with a consolidated Resources section giving per-file descriptions; deep detail (thresholds, sector modules, valuation rules, memo template) is appropriately pushed into references/scripts rather than nested. Not 2 because the references are clearly signaled and the split is appropriate, though some inline defect-code detail borders on content that could be separated.

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions — 'dividend screening', 'dividend growth quality checks', 'PERxPBR adaptation for US sectors', 'pullback limit-order planning', 'one-page stock memo creation' — matching the multi-action anchor; not 2 because coverage is comprehensive rather than partial.

Completeness

Explicitly states both what ('Convert ... into a repeatable US-stock operating procedure ... Covers screening, deep dive, entry planning, and post-purchase monitoring cadence') and when ('Use when users ask for ...'); not 2 because the 'when' clause is explicit, not merely implied.

Trigger Term Quality

Includes the exact natural user phrase 'かんち式配当投資' plus natural English variants like 'dividend screening' and 'pullback limit-order planning'; not 2 because common variations are present rather than missing.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Anchored to a clear niche via 'Kanchi-style dividend investing', 'かんち式配当投資', and 'PERxPBR adaptation for US sectors' — distinct triggers unlikely to fire for unrelated skills; not 2 because the niche is highly specific, not merely 'somewhat specific'.
