📝 Translation Quality

Criterion	Score
Accuracy	9/10
Fluency	8/10
Terminology	9/10
Formatting	10/10
Overall	8.9/10

Summary: This is a high-quality translation that adheres closely to the glossary and language policy. Technical/economic terms are correctly kept in English with appropriate Malayalam case-suffixes, headings remain untranslated as required, and the hortative classroom register is used appropriately. Only minor stylistic nuances (e.g., phrasing of 'no model is perfect') could be slightly improved, but there are no accuracy, terminology, or formatting errors of consequence. Correctly preserves all economics terminology (supply, demand, equilibrium, price) in English per glossary/policy Follows the hortative classroom register policy well ('നമുക്ക് ... പരിശോധിക്കാം') Section headings kept byte-identical in English as required Correct application of Malayalam case-suffixes attached to English terms (equilibrium-ൽ, models-ൽ, systems-നെ) YAML frontmatter and translation metadata correctly preserved without alteration

Suggestions:

• [minor · terminology] lecture-minimal.md — Introduction paragraph: 'Economics-ന്റെ അടിസ്ഥാന തത്വങ്ങളിലേക്കുള്ള' uses -ന്റെ after 'Economics' which ends in a consonant-like sound; the policy specifies -യുടെ genitive allomorph only after roots ending in a vowel sound, so -ന്റെ here is actually correct usage, but worth double-checking consistency with 'reality-യെ' further down which correctly uses -യെ.
• [nit · fluency] lecture-minimal.md — ## Economic Models, last paragraph: 'ഒരു model-ഉം perfect അല്ലെങ്കിലും' is a slightly literal rendering of 'no model is perfect'; a smoother classroom phrasing could be used, though the current version is understandable and grammatically correct. → ഒരു model-ഉം പൂർണമായിരിക്കില്ലെങ്കിലും
• [nit · terminology] lecture-minimal.md — Introduction paragraph: 'നമുക്ക് പരിശോധിക്കാം' for 'We will explore' is fine and follows the hortative policy, but 'പരിശോധിക്കാം' (examine/check) is a slightly narrower verb than 'explore'; not an error, just a minor nuance loss.
