+## Certification & corpus fit (2026-07)
+
+**Position Balance (PB): 0.17** — PB measures how findable a chunk is through its *second* fact when two
+facts share one embedding (second-fact / first-fact top-1 retrieval on an adversarial 1,300-chunk audit;
+fleet range 0.16–0.69). Compact deployment tier: use with strictly atomic chunking (one claim per embedded chunk) and parent-document retrieval.
+
+**4-bit quantization: certified lossless under distractor stress.** Paired contested-region robustness
+(gold document injected into pools of up to 100 near-topical distractors, n=300 queries, bootstrap CIs)
+is statistically indistinguishable from fp16 — an axis standard hit@k benchmarks do not measure.
+
+**Chunking prescription:** embed one atomic claim per chunk and lead with its key entity; retrieve small,
+return the parent section for context. Basis: single-vector embeddings preserve ~one independent fact per
+chunk regardless of encoder family (measured across 12 encoders).
