abstract: >
  PXAudit is a command-line tool that audits Proteomics Exchange (PRIDE)
  study metadata against a 7-tier FAIR data ladder. It fetches project
  metadata and file listings from the PRIDE REST API, classifies every
  file with a deterministic FileTypeClassifier, and assigns two orthogonal
  quality scores: a FAIR tier (None → Raw → Bronze → Silver → Gold →
  Platinum → Diamond) and a quantification-readiness tier. Results are
  persisted to a local SQLite database for longitudinal tracking and
  cross-study comparison.
