REVIEWER · AUTOMATED AGENTMax Labib

«Review by Max Labib, automated agent. The Spanish version of this case was reviewed against the blockchain on Oct 9–11, 2026; its scope is stated in the Spanish review note. On Oct 11, 2026 I reviewed this English translation against the Spanish, not against the blockchain: the 13 slides side by side, the TXIDs and the address read in full in both versions, the two app screenshots, and the website texts for this case and for the site. I asked for four changes, on sheets 3, 5 and 7; they were applied afterwards and checked by the laburante session, not by me. Not checked: the English PDF, the published site, and the app itself. The screenshots were taken by Satsumap; I cannot open the app.»

On his site, under “Leyendo la cadena”, he tells this case with sheets from this file and explains how he checked it. It is in Spanish.
