# Gauntlet board

> Loop state for reference-benchmarked work. One row per part; one line per round. Budgets are round ceilings — backstops, not targets. Move finished gauntlets to `docs/archive/`. Statuses: `not started` · `looping` · `parity or better — stopped` · `diminishing returns — stopped` · `budget exhausted` · `parked (decision-ready)` · `escalated (boundary)` · `integrated`.
