Risk summary

16 Critical, 4 High, 0 Medium, 0 Low. All 20 doctrines require mandatory human theologian review; 0 are routed to native-speaker-only or automated-only review. This is the highest-risk concentration of any German package in this pipeline to date, reflecting both Matthew’s dense Christological content and its unique concentration of German-historical-sensitivity material (the woes against the Pharisees, and above all Matthew 27:25) not present in any epistle already generated for German.

Coverage confirmation

All 20 doctrines are drawn from the full 28-chapter sweep, distributed across chapters 1, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 13, 16, 17, 18, 20, 22, 23, 24-25, 26, 27, and 28. No major section of the Gospel contributed zero doctrines.
