Strengths: Strongest brand authenticity in the fleet. Sorrentino badge prominent in hero. Both brand colors (#cbaa6b gold, #1a2744 navy) deployed correctly. All nav pages 200. 3 videos + 10 must-use images on homepage. Clean typography hierarchy.
Weaknesses: POWD route returns 404. Mobile nav hamburger exists in code but Steel screenshot at 375px rendered desktop nav (breakpoint edge case worth verifying).

Scoring Methodology
Each build was independently scored by a dedicated Queen QA sub-agent across 5 dimensions, 10 points each (50 total). Scoring used HTML inspection via curl plus Steel screenshots where the CLI was available on the build host.
| Dimension | What it measures |
|---|---|
| Visual Design Polish | Hero impact, typography hierarchy, white space, brand color discipline (white default + #cbaa6b gold + #1a2744 navy) |
| Content Completeness | Page count, section richness, copy depth vs sparse placeholder text |
| Brand Authenticity | Tinton Falls NJ accuracy, Mike Sorrentino mentions, Archangel positioning, zero Ascend or Florida bleed |
| Asset Utilization | How meaningfully the 49 MUST USE images and 11 videos were used vs skipped or repeated |
| Mobile Responsiveness | Mobile screenshot reflow, no horizontal scroll, hamburger nav, touch-target sizing |
What Shipped, What Did Not
Shipped (8): Hetzner Claude, Hetzner Codex, Mac Claude (TEAM), Mac Codex, VPS2 Claude, VPS2 Codex, VPS3 Claude, VPS3 Codex. All return HTTP 200. All have private GitHub repos. All have Archangel Tinton Falls branding with Sorrentino co-founder positioning, zero Ascend/Florida contamination.
Skipped (4): VPS1 Claude + Codex due to disk full (ENOSPC during npm install of node_modules + 50MB video assets). Laptop Claude + Codex due to SSH unreachable.
Known fleet-wide issue: POWD pages at /proof/<build-id>/ on each individual build return 308 then 404. Carlos's original delivery report incorrectly claimed they were live (curl -L followed the redirect to homepage). This fleet comparison page is the actual POWD, hosted at a project-scoped Vercel deploy per Mike's rule (never on proof.merlinoai.com).
