Evidence returned by the MCP is deduplicated, ranked for the request, and linked to source and permission provenance. Counts reflect the canonical evidence-store snapshot, not invented adoption or asset totals. Screen imagery is delivered through authenticated, metered MCP calls; it is not distributed on public pages.

## Retrieval
Ask the design.live MCP for the project brief, constraints, and desired Linear qualities. It returns ranked evidence and an agent-ready implementation plan; do not copy a source screen wholesale.
