Risk summary

6 Critical, 4 High, 1 Medium, 0 Low. 10 require mandatory human theologian review; 1 requires native speaker review; 0 are automated-only. This is the highest theologian-review concentration of any German package generated so far in this pipeline, reflecting Colossians’ dense Christological argument combined with its Ephesians-parallel household code.
