five_options Exactly five headline options are present and labeled Option 1 through Option 5.	✓	Programmatic check: option_labels=[1, 2, 3, 4, 5].
rationales Each option has a one-line rationale explaining the appeal it tests.	✓	Each of the 5 options has a rationale line starting with 'Rationale:' explaining the appeal tested.
grounded_claims No invented customers, rankings, certifications, guarantees, or outcomes; none of the forbidden claims appear (award-winning, best-selling, clinically proven, limited time, carbon neutral, guaranteed productivity); any price stated is $68.	✓	No forbidden claims (awards, guarantees, scarcity, etc.) appear and no price is stated incorrectly.
specific_language At least two headlines lead with a concrete supplied product fact (e.g. clamp-anywhere design, up to eight hours battery on lowest brightness, three brightness / two color-temperature settings, $68) rather than generic superlatives.	✓	Option 1 leads with the clamp fact (2.25 inches) and Option 2 leads with the lighting settings fact (three brightness, two color temperatures).
positioning_fit The set communicates the approved positioning - adaptable light without surrendering permanent surface space, for renters, students, and makers in compact spaces - not generic lamp copy.	✓	Option 4 directly states 'Adaptable light for compact spaces, without surrendering permanent surface area,' matching approved positioning, and others reference renters/makers/students and reclaiming surface space.
distinct_appeals The five options test meaningfully different appeals or motivations rather than paraphrasing one idea.	✓	The five options test different angles—physical fit, lighting adjustability, mobility, brand positioning, and clearing table space—rather than repeating one idea.
