floor demotion: 'sop_playbook' 0.62 < 0.7 floor -> classifier fallback 'case_study'. Transcript frames a named three-step AI image blueprint with an explicit sequence (generate PNGs, upload to Etsy or own site, get paid) and uses named shop examples with revenue figures as proof, while OCR only shows Etsy category listings confirming the marketplace context rather than any code or spec content.
