 A multi-agent system for software delivery: an orchestrator, executors
 specialized by capability, a judge with objective veto power, persistent
 project memory, parallel execution and a human gate on critical decisions.
 
+## Evidence at a glance
+
+| Capability | Verifiable implementation |
+|---|---|
+| Parallelism | Independent task fan-out and deterministic merge by ID |
+| Quality gate | Incremental judge combined with `pytest`, `ruff` and `mypy` |
+| Human control | Approval, retry, partial acceptance and abort at critical decisions |
+| Operational limits | Token, cost, time and attempt circuit breakers |
+| Durable execution | PostgreSQL checkpoints and restart recovery |
+| Observability | OTel/Langfuse spans per job and LLM call |
+
 ## What it does
 
 You POST a request in natural language. A planner decomposes it into tasks

 Sistema multiagente para desenvolvimento de software: orquestrador,
 executores especializados por capacidade, judge com veto objetivo,
 memória persistente, execução paralela e gate humano em decisões críticas.

+| Capacidade | Implementação verificável |
+|---|---|
+| Paralelismo | Fan-out de tarefas independentes e merge determinístico por ID |
+| Quality gate | Judge incremental combinado com `pytest`, `ruff` e `mypy` |
+| Controle humano | Aprovação, retry, aceite parcial e abort em decisões críticas |
+| Limites operacionais | Circuit breakers de tokens, custo, tempo e tentativas |
+| Execução durável | Checkpoints em PostgreSQL e retomada após interrupção |
+| Observabilidade | Spans OTel/Langfuse por job e chamada de LLM |
