## Verdict
Excellent first API-generated Observation Detail sheet. Strong document-family consistency and a clear specialized observation role. This is a credible visual baseline.

The unit reads as authorized sightline control / field survey / target classification personnel rather than a generic sniper. The danger profile is correct: quietly dangerous through competence, precision, posture, and institutional authority rather than overt aggression.

## Keep
- document-family consistency
- archival paper / pencil prototype presentation
- clean Field Command sheet layout
- high collar / coat silhouette
- composed upright primary pose
- rear sensor pack
- mounted long-form observation instrument
- restrained prototype-sheet rendering
- quiet-danger posture
- specialized observation role read
- equipment reads as instrument first, weapon second

## Refine
- consider making the head/optic system slightly less goggle-like in future variants
- reduce shoulder/chest mass a little if future versions drift too armored
- preserve the “instrument, not rifle” read
- avoid making future Observation Detail variants more tactical/sniper-coded
- keep future variants from becoming more visibly aggressive than the visual-danger rule allows

## Notes
This is the first successful API-generated Field Command draft archived through the vault pipeline.

Keep as the current Observation Detail visual baseline, but do not promote to selected/final yet. Use it as the reference point for future refinement passes.
