I need to reject this draft and escalate. The research material describes Hoplite (a cloud deployment platform for coding agents with session/memory porting and QA tooling), but the candidate source and draft content are about ProvenMetal (a PCB manufacturing service). These are completely different products in different domains.
Critical mismatch:
- research_json references: coding agents, MCP servers, session migration, QA suite for agent validation, cloud VMs
- candidate.content_excerpt: PCB fabrication, circuit boards, BOM verification, domestic manufacturing
- Draft body: Entirely about PCB supply chain automation, not agentic AI infrastructure
What should happen:
- The research team should provide the correct Hoplite source material (likely a different HN post about coding agent deployment)
- The candidate identifier should match the research scope (cloud deployment for agents, not hardware manufacturing)
- A new draft should be written from scratch using Hoplite’s actual architecture
I cannot revise this draft because no amount of editing will transform PCB manufacturing content into coding agent infrastructure content. The underlying source material is wrong.
Escalation required: Request correct Hoplite source material or confirm that the research_json was incorrectly paired with this candidate.
