Cold-audience read
The signal is discipline, not volume.
The system-backed arm produced shorter artifacts on average while
preserving source boundaries, role fit, and self-sufficiency checks.
That is worth inspecting. It is not yet enough to publish a broad lift
number.
- Word-count shift
- 32.4%
Mean artifact length decreased in the system-backed arm.
- Self-sufficient
- 5/5
System-backed outputs passed the public self-sufficiency reading.
- Hollow dependency
- 4/5 -> 5/5
One cold failure is retained as a likely heuristic false positive.
