 Sloth — AI Workforce Intelligence Demo
-Hugging Face Spaces deployment
-25-country MVP coverage
+Hugging Face Spaces · v2.0 with Harness Engineering
+═══════════════════════════════════════════════════
+Harness layers implemented:
+  1. Verification Loop    — every data point cross-checked before delivery
+  2. Confidence Scoring   — each result carries a reliability score
+  3. Audit Trail          — timestamped source citation on every alert
+  4. Phase Gates          — structured extraction phases with validation
+  5. Range Validation     — tax/wage figures checked against known bounds
+  6. Fallback Recovery    — graceful degradation if any layer fails
+  7. Session Tracing      — every query gets a unique trace ID
