Capacity signals

{
  "reasoning": "William H. Ahmanson meets Tier 5 criteria through named-eponymous foundation leadership (The Ahmanson Foundation) and confirmed CEO status of a major private company. His vice chairmanship of a major philanthropic foundation and trustee role at a substantial university ($1.7B+ assets) confirm UHNW capacity, despite no current FEC or property records (likely due to 2008 death date).",
  "signals": [
    "Wikipedia identifies as CEO of H. F. Ahmanson \u0026 Co. (1969\u20131984), major Los Angeles business leader",
    "Vice Chairman of The Ahmanson Foundation \u2014 named-eponymous foundation (Tier 5 indicator)",
    "Trustee of Loyola Marymount University (total assets $1.72B, revenue $679.8M)",
    "Described as philanthropist in Wikipedia biography",
    "Deceased 2008 but historical wealth capacity confirmed through foundation leadership and executive tenure"
  ]
}

Affinity reasoning

{
  "drivers": [
    "Layer 2: Trustee of Loyola Marymount University (Jesuit Catholic institution) \u2014 FEC/organizational affiliation",
    "Wikipedia: Confirmed major philanthropist and vice chairman of The Ahmanson Foundation \u2014 demonstrates serious philanthropic profile and capacity",
    "Wikipedia: CEO of H. F. Ahmanson \u0026 Co. (1969-1984) \u2014 establishes wealth and business leadership credentials supporting major gift capacity"
  ],
  "reasoning": "Layer 2 board position at major Catholic university (Loyola Marymount) combined with Wikipedia confirmation of significant philanthropic leadership role (Ahmanson Foundation vice chairman) and substantial wealth meets high-affinity threshold, though no explicit Middle East Christian aid or Vatican honors documented."

Judge synthesis (Opus)

{
  "confirmed": false,
  "cultivation_pathway": "DECEASED 2008 \u2014 not cultivable. Pivot to Ahmanson Foundation institutional relationship and surviving family/trustees (Howard F. Ahmanson Jr., Robert H. Ahmanson estate). Approach via LMU advancement office leveraging existing trustee history; Ahmanson Foundation is a Tier-1 LA Catholic/cultural funder with documented LMU giving history.",
  "duplicate_of": null,
  "keystone_potential": "no",
  "notes": "CRITICAL DATA QUALITY FLAG: Prospect died October 14, 2008 per Wikipedia \u2014 cannot be a current LMU trustee or active prospect. Scoring system failed to apply death-date suppression. Composite 0.774 is invalid for individual cultivation. However, the underlying signal (Ahmanson family/foundation \u2194 LMU affinity) is real and high-value. Recommend: (1) suppress this record from active prospect list, (2) create institutional prospect record for The Ahmanson Foundation, (3) research living Ahmanson family principals as replacement keystone candidates. Citations valid but prospect-level inference is wrong."
