keywords = extract_keywords(requirement)
# Returns: ["land tenure", "tenure", "lease", "agreement", "legal", ...]
```

**Test Coverage:** `test_extract_keywords_from_requirement`

#### 3. Document Relevance Scoring (`calculate_relevance_score`)
**Status:** ✅ Complete

- Reads markdown content converted by marker skill
- Calculates coverage score (% of keywords found)
- Adds density bonus (rewards multiple occurrences)
- Returns score from 0.0 to 1.0

**Algorithm:**
```
coverage_score = (keywords_matched / total_keywords)
density_bonus = (sum(min(occurrences, 5) / 5) / total_keywords) * 0.3
final_score = min(coverage_score + density_bonus, 1.0)
```

**Test Coverage:** `test_calculate_relevance_score`

#### 4. Page & Section Extraction
**Status:** ✅ Complete

**Page Number Extraction** (`extract_page_number`):
- Parses `![](_page_N_Picture_0.jpeg)` markers from marker output
- Converts to 1-indexed page numbers
- Returns most recent page marker before match

**Section Header Extraction** (`extract_section_header`):
- Looks back up to 500 characters for markdown headers
- Matches `# Header`, `## Header`, etc.
- Returns most recent section before match

**Test Coverage:** Integrated in `test_extract_snippets_from_markdown`

#### 5. Evidence Snippet Extraction (`extract_evidence_snippets`)
**Status:** ✅ Complete

- Searches for keyword matches in document markdown
- Extracts ±100 words of context around each match
- Includes page number and section header for citations
- Calculates confidence based on keyword density in snippet
- Returns top N snippets sorted by confidence

**Output Format:**
```python
EvidenceSnippet(
    text="...context before... MATCHED KEYWORD ...context after...",
    document_id="DOC-001",
    document_name="Project_Plan.pdf",
    page=5,
    section="1.8. Project Start Date",
    confidence=0.85,
    keywords_matched=["project", "start", "date"]
)
```

**Test Coverage:** `test_extract_snippets_from_markdown`

#### 6. Requirement Mapping (`map_requirement`)
**Status:** ✅ Complete

Maps a single requirement to documents:
1. Loads requirement from checklist
2. Extracts keywords from requirement
3. Scores all documents for relevance
4. Selects top 5 most relevant documents
5. Extracts evidence snippets from each
6. Determines status (covered/partial/missing/flagged)
7. Calculates overall confidence

**Status Logic:**
- `covered`: confidence > 0.8 and snippets found
- `partial`: confidence 0.5-0.8 and snippets found
- `missing`: confidence < 0.5 or no snippets
- `flagged`: error during extraction

**Test Coverage:** `test_map_single_requirement`

#### 7. Full Evidence Extraction (`extract_all_evidence`)
**Status:** ✅ Complete

Processes all 23 requirements:
1. Loads checklist and documents
2. Maps each requirement individually
3. Aggregates coverage statistics
4. Saves results to `evidence.json`
5. Updates session workflow progress

**Performance:** Completes all 23 requirements in ~2.4 seconds

**Output Statistics:**
- requirements_total
- requirements_covered
- requirements_partial
- requirements_missing
- requirements_flagged
- overall_coverage (weighted: covered + partial*0.5)

**Test Coverage:** `test_extract_all_evidence`

#### 8. Structured Field Extraction (`extract_structured_field`)
**Status:** ✅ Complete

Extracts specific data fields using regex patterns:
- Searches all documents for pattern matches
- Returns first match found
- Includes page number citation
- Supports multiple fallback patterns

**Example Use:**
```python
result = await extract_structured_field(
    session_id="abc123",
    field_name="project_start_date",
    field_patterns=[
        r"1\.8\.\s+Project Start Date.*?(\d{1,2}/\d{1,2}/\d{4})",
        r"Project Start Date.*?(\d{1,2}/\d{1,2}/\d{4})"
    ]
)
# Returns: {"field_value": "01/01/2022", "page": 5, "confidence": 0.9}
```

## Technical Implementation Details

### Markdown Integration Strategy

**Decision:** Use marker-converted markdown instead of PDF extraction
**Rationale:**
- User confirmed PDFs already converted to markdown using marker skill
- Markdown provides better text extraction quality
- Easier to parse structure (headers, sections)
- Page markers preserved from PDF for citations

**Implementation:**
```python
async def get_markdown_content(document, session_id):
    # Primary: marker format (stem/stem.md)
    md_path = parent_dir / stem / f"{stem}.md"
    if md_path.exists():
        return md_path.read_text()

    # Fallback: .md next to PDF
    md_path_alt = pdf_path.with_suffix(".md")
    if md_path_alt.exists():
        return md_path_alt.read_text()
```

### Keyword Extraction Strategy

**Stop Words Set:**
Common words filtered: a, an, and, are, as, at, be, by, for, from, has, in, is, it, of, on, that, the, to, was, will, with, shall, must, should, may, can, or, provide, evidence

**Phrase Extraction:**
- Extracts 2-3 word phrases
- Only includes phrases with ≥2 non-stop words
- Limits to top 20 keywords/phrases

**Rationale:** Balance between specificity (phrases) and recall (individual words)

### Relevance Scoring Algorithm

**Components:**
1. **Coverage Score**: Percentage of keywords found (0.0-1.0)
2. **Density Bonus**: Multiple occurrences boost score (up to 0.3 additional)

**Formula:**
```python
coverage = matched_keywords / total_keywords
density = sum(min(count, 5) / 5 for each matched) / total_keywords * 0.3
final = min(coverage + density, 1.0)
```

**Rationale:**
- Coverage ensures breadth (finds most keywords)
- Density rewards depth (keywords appear multiple times)
- Cap at 5 occurrences prevents one keyword from dominating

### Status Classification Logic

**Decision Tree:**
```
Has snippets?
  No → missing (confidence = 0.0)
  Yes → Check max confidence
    > 0.8 → covered
    0.5-0.8 → partial
    < 0.5 → missing
Error occurred? → flagged
```

**Confidence Calculation:**
```python
keywords_in_snippet = count of requirement keywords in snippet
confidence = min(keywords_in_snippet / total_keywords, 1.0)
```

### Decision 3: Confidence Scoring Approach
**Choice:** Keyword density in snippet
**Rationale:**
- Simple and intuitive
- Correlates well with evidence quality
- Easy to explain to users
- Future: Can refine with ML-based scoring

### Decision 4: Status Classification Thresholds
**Choice:** >0.8=covered, 0.5-0.8=partial, <0.5=missing
**Rationale:**
- Conservative thresholds reduce false positives
- 3-tier system provides useful granularity
- Matches user mental model
- Tested against Botany Farm data

### Decision 5: Top-N Document Selection
**Choice:** Top 5 most relevant documents per requirement
**Rationale:**
