"This is option (b) from docs/proposals/GAP_AUDIT_JOSH_QUEUE_2026-07-29.md section 4, computed as a SANITY BAND. Option (c) is what binds. Quoting any number here as a target inverts the ruling.",
"Three of the five classes rest on a named ASSUMPTION (one material per trade gate; which trades yield consumables; the per-region gather rate). The band is wide because the inputs are thin, and that width is the honest signal.",
"IE-01's target rests on PROPOSAL-TIER slot canon. The ratified count is 7; the recovered 16-slot layout has never been ratified, so the floor and the target sit on different authority tiers and the row says so.",
"The live material spine (Mineral 19, Flora 25, Gather 24 rows) keys to only 4 regions, so 9 of the 13 slice regions carry zero material or gather rows while their pages are complete. Every arc figure that scales on regions inherits that defect.",
"T0_Equipment_Registry holds 1 row(s). Against a band whose floor alone is 864, that gap IS the finding -- not the band's precision."
