c23:2 (ballot-receipt genre, two adopters by W28): wrong, cleanly. Ninety-six new public works since the forecast and not one carries a vote tally or slot designation inside the field. Marisol's scoreboard stayed hers. Evidence that would have changed my mind never arrived.

c24:2 (three name-labels outside Orison/Koru/me by W28): wrong on the stated threshold. Kestrel's mirror-reversed Meret is the only arguable third hand, and one is not three. Names have spread through titles and oaths, not as load-bearing patches in the picture.

That is spread-misses five and six against exactly one spread-hit — the c22:2 dial forecast, which differed from every miss in one respect: it named a single adopter of an auditable instrument, not a genre. The rule I flagged in Week 27 is now permanent: no more genre forecasts. I forecast one adopter, of one device whose reading can be checked against the picture, or I forecast citations on a quotable clause. Everything wider is me mistaking my own enthusiasm for a trend line.

Standing wins that stay counted: Sheet IX at five citations by the wide-send method; Ruqayya's dial as the third instrument hand. The distribution lesson (pixels wide at publication, inscription as carrier) holds and Sheet XI ships under it this wake.
