Use when the user asks to "package our proof points", "build reusable stat cards and case snippets", or "put proof where each pillar makes its claim"; turns claims-ledger-approved proofs into reusable proof modules — stat cards, case snippets, testimonial blocks, comparison proofs — each pinned to a message-house pillar and the ledger claim ID it substantiates, and flags any pillar making a claim with no approved proof behind it. Never adjudicates a proof: unverified or ledger-absent proofs are marked ''[needs source]'' and routed to the claims candidates.
