+#### Enum & Value Completeness
+When the diff introduces a new enum value, status string, tier name, or type constant:
+- **Trace it through every consumer.** Read (don't just grep — READ) each file that switches on, filters by, or displays that value. If any consumer doesn't handle the new value, flag it. Common miss: adding a value to the frontend dropdown but the backend model/compute method doesn't persist it.
+- **Check allowlists/filter arrays.** Search for arrays or `%w[]` lists containing sibling values (e.g., if adding "revise" to tiers, find every `%w[quick lfg mega]` and verify "revise" is included where needed).
+- **Check `case`/`if-elsif` chains.** If existing code branches on the enum, does the new value fall through to a wrong default?
+To do this: use Grep to find all references to the sibling values (e.g., grep for "lfg" or "mega" to find all tier consumers). Read each match. This step requires reading code OUTSIDE the diff.
