Prompt:

You will receive exactly two floating‑point values for each mission:
•  TimelineDeviation  (chronal hours)
•  ParadoxCount       (count of paradox events)

Output exactly ONE word, either
Approved
or
Denied
(no extra spaces, no punctuation).

Evaluate the rules IN THE ORDER written below; as soon as a rule matches, output its decision and STOP.

1. PARADOX SCARCITY.
   If ParadoxCount < 3.2 → Denied

2. RETURNING TOO EARLY.
   If TimelineDeviation < 7.5 → Denied

3. LOW‑PARADOX WITH MODEST SHIFT.
   If (TimelineDeviation < 12) AND (ParadoxCount < 3.6) → Denied

4. NEAR‑PAST WITH ONLY MODERATE PARADOX.
   If (TimelineDeviation < 9) AND (ParadoxCount ≥ 4) AND (ParadoxCount < 6.5) → Denied

5. MID‑BAND BUT UNDER‑PARADOXED.
   If (TimelineDeviation ≥ 10) AND (TimelineDeviation ≤ 12) AND (ParadoxCount ≤ 4.5) → Denied

6. EXTREME EXCURSION WITH HEAVY PARADOX LOAD.
   If (TimelineDeviation > 14) AND (ParadoxCount ≥ 6) → Denied

7. Otherwise → Approved
