 | `deadline` | `noul` | Deadlines |
 | `open_question` | `noul` | Open Questions |
 
+Each `noul` question in the example also ships a `threshold` (0.70–0.90), measured across real
+sessions with `triage-eval` so that a flag means something instead of matching most of a meeting.
+Delete a key to fall back to `[triage].escalate_threshold`; re-measure before trusting them on a
+different kind of conversation.

 `substantive_update` is the gate: when the model returns a `p` below `brief_gate_threshold`,
 the turn is still classified and shown, but the brief isn't asked to update. The gate is
 fail-open, so a missing or non-numeric answer passes. `questions.json` is gitignored user
