## Verdict
Rejected as canonical direction. Preserved as useful exploration only.

v002’s split-pillar interior weakens the threshold/door read and risks becoming a generic abstract insignia or stylized letterform. Not approved for Field Command operational use.

## Keep
- useful as a contrast pass showing what to avoid
- document-family presentation remains acceptable

## Refine
- do not use as canonical mark structure
- do not carry split-pillar interior into future mark or unit prompts

## Notes
Exploration candidate only. Canonical direction is v001. Do not promote to selected/final.
