# Study 000J Audit

## Structural Audit

This package is structurally sound.

It includes:

- full outdoor case table
- subgroup mechanism summaries
- factor-ranking matrix
- figures
- manuscript and report set
- build script

## Scientific Audit

Study `000J` asks:

`When embedding support and bout length diverge, which factor carries more weight in preserving low-burden expression?`

The answer is:

`State-conditional answer, supported.`

Why:

- the clearest direct divergence case favored bout structure
- the later specialized state still favored embedding support strongly
- the archive does not support one universal winner across all states

## Boundaries

- There is no high-embedding short outside case in the current archive.
- The direct divergence evidence is strongest in early 2025.
- This study ranks factors as strongly as the archive allows, but it does not fully solve every future threshold question.
