7.What The Framework Says
Composite D- 4.4 — twenty-seventh-highest in the 36-person pilot, tied with Omar and Waters. Four Pillars 12/40 — Unfit.
Crockett ranks #27 because her record demonstrates: among the lowest wealth-disconnect ratios in House office-type calibration; substantive House Oversight Committee questioning; civil-rights attorney pre-political background.
The composite stops at D 4.6 because of: (1) Measure 05 Score 2 provisional anchor — compilation-video quotes pending primary-source verification; (2) Brief congressional tenure (first-term) limits full-record assessment; (3) Democratic-caucus alignment >95%; (4) Median Squad profile without signature anchor-tier exemplary conduct. Crockett is the framework's "Squad first-term with provisional M05 anchor pending Source-Verification" exemplar.
