VERIFY:length_max_m: stored=3 suggested=1.5 confidence=low — The only known specimen (holotype PVSJ 874) is a partially grown individual with a reconstructed body length of approximately 1.30 m, and no larger referred material has been published; a 3 m maximum is more than double the sole published measurement and is not supported by the descriptive literature.

VERIFY:weight_max_kg: stored=30 suggested=10 confidence=low — Panphagia is described as a small, lightly built taxon known only from a c. 1.30 m immature skeleton, comparable in build to Eoraptor, for which about 10 kg is the commonly cited mass; a 30 kg upper bound scales from an unsupported 3 m adult length.
