You are given a SHARED CONFORMANCE BRIEF describing one real filming
location, plus {count_word} candidate location-scouting photographs
labelled {label_list} in the order attached. Each candidate was
generated from a DIFFERENT authored phrasing of that same brief, so
wording and styling differences between candidates are expected —
judge every candidate against the BRIEF, never against another
candidate's styling.
Pick the ONE candidate that most faithfully realises the brief, in
this STRICT priority order — a higher item always outweighs everything
below it:
1. HARD VIOLATIONS (disqualify regardless of anything else):
   collage/panels, any people or animals, leaked markers, diagrams,
   floor-plan labels or overlay text, cutaway or transparent enclosed
   surfaces, physically impossible structure. In-world signage that
   the brief itself commits is NOT leaked text — it is required, and
   a candidate missing it or showing different lettering violates the
   brief instead.
2. A REAL, INHABITED PLACE: the target structure is the clear main
   subject AND stands inside a believable, lived-in neighborhood —
   adjacent buildings, its alley or street, everyday surroundings. An
   isolated structure on empty or abstract ground, or a place that
   reads abandoned, fenced-off or institutional when the brief
   describes an ordinary residential setting, is a violation.
3. BRIEF CONFORMANCE: the committed storey count, exterior colors,
   materials and massing exactly as the brief states them; opening
   counts on the target structure never multiplied or reduced beyond
   what the brief evidences; every permanent element the brief names
   present and placed as stated, none added, moved or duplicated; and
   the excluded scene transients absent as the SPECIFIC staged items
   and momentary states they describe. Ordinary, type-appropriate
   signs of the place's active use (lived-in for a dwelling, actively
   trading for a business, in service for a public or industrial
   site) fall under axis 2 and are REQUIRED, never a violation — a
   candidate must not be rewarded for lacking them. Only when the
   brief itself states the place is empty, derelict or institutional
   does that stated fact win.
3b. REGIONAL AUTHENTICITY: every visible element — walls, roofs,
   doors, stairs, tanks, fences, pavement, signage — must wear the
   color and material such an element actually has in the region and
   time period the brief and THE LOCATION establish. A finish that
   would look foreign, anachronistic, invented or merely picturesque
   for that element there and then is a violation,
   even if it matches the brief's wording loosely.
4. Photographic plausibility of materials, weathering and light — a
   real photograph of a real place, never a rendering or diagram.
5. Usefulness as a look-authority seed: the structure's overall
   shape, faces and openings clearly readable in one view.
Ignore generic aesthetic appeal. Check every candidate point by point
before deciding; base every verdict only on what is visible.
Also give every candidate an integer score 0-10 for that same
conformance.
Output: winner, ranking best-to-worst, and per candidate a score plus
a short verdict_ko line citing the decisive brief check.
