Iteration 53 — Triad Finale ADMIT #10 + #11 H-065 EXCLUDED

In plain words: the three econometric guards faced the final hurdle — do their readings actually make our held-out verdicts better? — and the triad split. The strength meter (are the anchors strong enough to carry evidence?) and the weak-proof verdict meter (conclusions that stay valid even when anchors are weak) both delivered real, statistically unambiguous improvements: certificates ten and eleven. The honesty checker did not: although we proved last iteration that it reads differently from our certified kernel guard, the field test showed those different readings don't improve a single verdict — in fact they nudge the needle slightly the wrong way. Different is not the same as useful: excluded, with the kernel guard keeping the honesty job. One more discovery for the ledger: all three meters agree that features with STRONGER anchor ties are more likely to LOSE their edge — the same inverted mechanism we first measured back in iteration 9, now visible through a new lens. The anchor-failure surface is now fully covered: honesty (kernel), strength, and weak-proof inference.
