Ready: NO
Decision: pending

This gate is the stop/review step between paid Stage 1 output and any scale-up or Apify gap-fill spend.

## Checks
- [blocked] Raw DataForSEO result ingested — 0 converted files / 0 converted reviews
- [blocked] Ingest has no structural issues — 0 ingest issues
- [blocked] Reviewer inspected raw output — review not recorded
- [blocked] Required evidence fields present — text=false, rating=false, date=false, url=false
- [blocked] Cost reviewed and acceptable — costReviewed=false, costAcceptable=false
- [blocked] Decision recorded — decision=pending
- [pass] Apify gap named if selected — not selecting Apify gap-fill

## Recommendations
- Do not scale DataForSEO or run Apify yet.
- Complete raw ingest, evidence-field review, cost review, and explicit decision first.
