Hlido verdict

Hlido tested both. Consensus scored 53 (FADING); genspark scored 40 (FADING). Consensus leads by 13 points. Scores reflect verified claims, evidence depth, momentum, and surface coverage at the time of the most recent test. Re-tested periodically — drift over time is itself a signal.
