Measured separately, SC 14D9 clears 0.80 outright and DEFM14A does not come close. The blended figure describes neither population.",

A tender-offer-scoped identity is a legitimate REDESIGN, and it needs its own pre-registration with its threshold and universe fixed before anything is measured again. What this analysis establishes is that the CURRENT protocol mis-specified its population, not that a narrower one works."

  "summary": "Of the three families one gate from feasibility, none is blocked by extraction. spin_off_dislocation and customer_supplier_propagation ask for language the filings do not contain at the assumed rate; merger_arbitrage applies one threshold to two populations with different filing obligations. All three need identity redesign with fresh pre-registration, not a better parser. That is a slower answer than 'one gate away' implied, and it is the true one."
