- **No Hardcoded Paths**: Verified by `scripts/final_production_verification.py`

### ✅ Column Counts
- **merged_personas.xlsx**: Updated to 79 columns (was 83, redundant DB columns removed)
- **All References Updated**: README now correctly shows 79 columns

### ✅ Installation Instructions
- **Virtual Environment**: Added clear instructions for venv setup
- **Dependencies**: Complete list with explanations
- **Cross-Platform**: Works on Windows, macOS, Linux

### ✅ Code Evidence
- **All Code References**: Verified against actual codebase
- **Line Numbers**: Accurate (verified against current code)
- **File Paths**: All relative, no external dependencies

### ✅ Standalone Status
- **100% Self-Contained**: All files within project directory
- **No External Dependencies**: Verified by production verification script
- **Deployment Ready**: Can be copied anywhere

### ✅ Verification Steps
- **Added**: Standalone verification step in installation
- **Added**: Production verification command
- **Added**: Deployment guide reference

## Code Evidence Verification

### File Path Resolution
**Pattern Used Throughout**:
```python
BASE_DIR = Path(__file__).resolve().parent.parent  # For scripts/
BASE_DIR = Path(__file__).resolve().parent         # For root scripts
```

**Verified Files**:
- ✅ `services/data_loader.py` - Uses relative paths
- ✅ `scripts/prepare_data.py` - Uses relative paths
- ✅ `run_complete_pipeline.py` - Uses relative paths
- ✅ `config.py` - Uses relative paths

### Data File Locations
**All Internal**:
- ✅ `data/AllQuestions.xlsx` - Internal
- ✅ `data/merged_personas.xlsx` - Generated internally
- ✅ `support/3000-students.xlsx` - Internal
- ✅ `support/3000_students_output.xlsx` - Internal
- ✅ `support/fixed_3k_personas.xlsx` - Internal
