Capability Grade: C | Ambition Score: 83.75 / 100 | State: FRONTIER_REVIEWED

Assigned by the Forge Frontier Layer (FRONTIER_BAR standard) from objective design signals only.
The Frontier Layer asks "is this the best achievable design?" — the front-of-pipeline twin of the Proof Layer.

Basis: Spec satisfied and SOTA-reviewed, but meaningful capability gaps remain (disclosed).
