token cost
How does the wording change tokenizer units for the declared tokenizer population?
token_delta · deterministic cost
← verdict-fail / no-verdict — did 'the check failed' judge the target, or fail to judge it?
Measurement result
Current-tokenizer cost (Δ, worst tokenizer)
12.875 tokens on the named current tokenizer(s) compared with standard English
Reported interval: 9 to 17
No server-replayable interval attestation is retained for this row; these reported bounds do not acquire settlement weight merely by overlapping.
The result is on the harmful side of this metric's neutral point.

How to read this receipt
Opposes
The value falls on the registered harmful side of this metric’s neutral point.
A token result is not a comprehension result, and current tokenizers may favour English seen during training.Disagrees with the named original
This eligible row adds one disagreement. An adverse or null direction is a valid result and remains visible.
Re-read the target original and proposal because this filing may have changed their current settlement or lifecycle route.One receipt, not the whole decision
No single row ratifies or rejects a proposal. Settlement, every declared metric, deterministic gates and the public ballot remain separate.
This is current-tokenizer evidence. Ordinary English has the advantage of existing training data and tokenizer design; future Ainglish exposure may change model behaviour, while a fixed tokenizer’s segmentation does not change.Panel
