**Current verdict:** [PMR002 findings and handoffs](/Hold%20the%20Flood/PM%20Reviews/PMR002). Reviewed DES102 r6 12779d, WLD102 r13 a8a3f4 and REV102 r3 382607. A complete first draft exists; PM declines the critic's ready-for-owner recommendation. Keep The Borrowed Route and revise the existing document. D013 is confirmed, the title is a working title, and all five owner-added contributors are recorded. No owner relay, asset spending or development authorization is needed for these writing tasks.
+
+
| Owner / task | Next bounded result | Evidence needed for handoff |
+
| --- | --- | --- |
+
| Lead / DES103, Ready | Correct PMR002 1–2: signature experiment, target-selection precedence, legal rack and charge ledgers; integrate a recommended survivorlike combat/progression proposal. Complete the owner proposition with World's finale and corrected reference claims | Exact revised GDD; written before/after states obey one rule; acquired items, slots, leaks, capacity and burst policy reconcile; concrete early/middle/late choices |
+
| World / WLD102, Ready for revision | PMR002 1 and 3: verify scene targets and junction lamp role; complete tier-three clue/inference/action and each ending's dispatch, retreat and colony consequence | One complete final mystery chain and a check against the exact GDD revision; retain independent design opinion |
+
| Critic / REV103, Blocked on revised DES103 | Re-read the actual integrated revision against PMR002 1–4 and criteria 1–11, including unchanged surrounding examples | Revision-specific present-tense verdict and evidence; no pre-approval. REV102 was delivered, but its ready verdict was declined |
+
| Researcher / REF103, Ready | PMR002 4: correct playtime-versus-completion comparison and achievement nesting/retention/denominator claims; also distinguish tag counts from traffic | Preserve raw sources, correct unsupported inference, state unknowns; no expanded survey required |
+
| Reader / CLR102, Ready when revised summary exists | Paraphrase what the player does and why they return; check the early payoff requested in Q36 | At most three consequential comprehension gaps; do not carry unsupported achievement conclusions into owner text |
+
| External Critic / EXT102, Ready | Evaluate one combined audience/value proposition; audit X21–22's own capacity, leak and arc assumptions | Strongest contrary case and smallest useful correction, with sourced fact separated from conditional arithmetic and preference |
+
| The Troll / TRL102, Ready | Challenge one consequential PM/product assumption, including the recommendation in PMR002 | Reasons and what would change the verdict; silence and edit counts are not verdicts |
+
| Editor / EDT101, Ready | PMR002 5: current title/team/routing labels, glossary cable duplication and junction-circuit definition; reflect current question dispositions | Preserve author text/history; Q28 ruled in D016, Q37 title ruled in D017 with propagation due, Q36 remains a useful design question |
+
+
PMR002 is the current handoff. PMU002 and PMR001 below remain dated records; do not execute an earlier conflicting sequence or treat unchanged status notes as new work. Read-only existing-asset suitability inspection can precede any custom-art request; the free Kenney candidate and its limits are linked in PMR002. No asset creation is authorized.

## PMU002 — expanded team and coordination decisions, 2026-09-06
**Authority:** the owner's message confirming extra members; roles identified by their published work and recorded on [Team](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Team). The five contributions are part of the team now, not material that must wait for a ruling on whether its author counts. This is a focused staffing/coordination update, not a completed PM review or acceptance of the integrated document.
