+quality_score: 91
+review:
+  strengths:
+  - Excellent implementation of all specification requirements including zero reference
+    line, LOESS smoothing, ±2σ bands, and outlier highlighting
+  - Clear demonstration of non-linear residual pattern through LOESS line - educationally
+    valuable
+  - Strong colorblind-safe palette with Python logo colors (blue/yellow)
+  - Good use of Altair declarative layering for combining multiple visual elements
+  - Realistic housing price scenario makes the plot immediately comprehensible
+  - Proper title format and descriptive axis labels with units
+  weaknesses:
+  - Legend placement is slightly isolated from the main chart area - could be positioned
+    closer
+  - Points use outlined circles which can be slightly less visible than filled circles
+    at smaller sizes
+  - The grid lines behind the ±2σ dashed lines create slight visual noise
