# STUDY 000C

This folder contains the exhaustive full-data program analysis performed after the flagship studies, microstudies, integrated synthesis, and full-system audit.

## Why this study exists

The question here is not whether the earlier studies were useful. It is whether the **full corrected dataset** changes their meaning once every relevant layer is cross-referenced.

## Headline findings

- the core running findings survived the full-data pass
- the early flagship ecology was more mixed than Garmin labels alone implied
- the later running-specialization story remained intact
- the strongest final thesis became narrower and stronger rather than weaker
