**Tracking note (post-PR #101):** EXPERT_REVIEW_PACK.md: SEED-007 and SEED-005 reviewer notes
added (parallel to SEED-008/009 notes already present); SEED-007 Met oxidation risk row added
to Pipeline Limitations table. All 7 families now have equal depth in both the wet-lab handoff
and the expert review pack.

**SEED-007 reviewer note:** Bombolitin-II (*Megabombus pennsylvanicus* venom) is the
**largest selected family** (26 variants, 4 pilot slots). All 4 pilot candidates are NOVEL
and occupy ranks 3, 4, 5, and 8 in the panel, making SEED-007 the family with the most
top-10 placements. SEED-007_VAR_009 (ensemble 0.849) is the primary bombolitin breakthrough
candidate. **Critical synthesis note:** all 4 pilot variants contain Met at position 6 —
request Nle (norleucine) substitution or argon atmosphere storage; HPLC purity mandatory at
receipt. Serum stability model scores (0.636–0.662) are the best raw scores among all NOVEL
pilot families (tied with SEED-006). If SEED-007 variants are active, compare MIC to parent
Bombolitin-II (IKFTTMLKKLG) — any single-substitution improvement is a direct SAR finding.

**SEED-005 reviewer note:** Cecropin-magainin hybrid (KRLFKKIGSALKFL, 14 AA). Only 1 pilot
slot (rank 19); classified CLOSE_RELATIVE (60% similarity to a reference AMP). This family
is the **lowest-priority NOVEL candidate** in the pilot panel — if synthesis budget must be
reduced, SEED-005 may be deferred while retaining SEED-006/007/008/009. If included, note
the lowest safety score in the panel (0.845); hemolysis assay at MIC/3 is mandatory, and
if HC₅₀ < 10× MIC the family should be deprioritised for Wave 2.

**SEED-008 reviewer note:** Disagreement is highest in panel (0.41–0.44) because the Boman index
penalises Trp (hydrophobic), while the activity scorer rewards it (Trp-weighted aromatic bonus).
