Anchor Snapshot

The Rome phase is best read as a constrained but highly revealing transition window. It clarifies how network fit, institutional climate, and project opportunity shape late-career movement.

Evidence Matrix

Anchor Evidence Class Interpretive Role
1513-1516 Rome positioning Chronology and place evidence Defines late-career geographic and institutional context before final relocation.
Competitive patronage environment Network and context evidence Explains mismatch pressures and limits on project expansion in this window.
Pre-France transition dynamics Biographical trajectory evidence Connects Rome constraints to the 1516-1519 final court phase.

Open Questions for Next Pass

  • Which Rome-phase claims need tighter evidence-tier labels in cast and works pages?
  • How should we display constrained-opportunity periods without implying inactivity?
  • Where should the Rome-to-France transition documents be grouped?
