All results come from the repository's Python case-level queue engine with seed 20260831. Sliders select exact precomputed grid points; they use no interpolation. These are generated mechanism scenarios, separate from the supplied case evidence. Economic value includes legitimate margin, company liability, realized recovery, authentication and operating costs. Outstanding cases retain full liability at day 84; initial liabilities are sunk. Multi-seed uncertainty is reported in the results note. Read the case and code.
