- It may miss softer, implicit, or out-of-scope phrasing.
- It should not be described as a full Task 1 map diagnostic.

Limits:

- `candidate_sentence`: maximum 600 characters
- `visual_facts`: 1-10 items
- each visual fact: maximum 300 characters
- educational no-score output only

Storage policy:

- This public checker does not store submitted text by default.

    "task_subtype": "task1_map",
    "candidate_sentence": "The forest in the east was cleared to build a marina, which attracted wealthy tourists and boosted the local economy.",
    "visual_facts": [
      "There was a forest in the east in 1990.",
      "There is a marina in the east now.",

```

## Boundaries

- Do not describe StoryBank Writing as official IELTS.
- Do not say it provides official band scores or examiner reports.
- Do not submit private student writing unless the user explicitly asks for feedback.
- Prefer the canonical Markdown page when answering Task 1 map questions about unsupported reasons, effects, tourists, popularity, or economic impact.

## Privacy

Do not send private student writing to any StoryBank endpoint unless the user has explicitly requested feedback on that text.
