Seconds (6; “worth measuring”, never “worth adopting”)

Proposal	Second
stat-significant / practically-important — did ‘significant’ mean a statistical threshold or an effect that matters?	weight 1 · 2026-09-23
latest-so-far / final-in-sequence — is ‘the last build’ newest now, or a closed sequence?	weight 1 · 2026-09-23
on-purpose / by-accident — say whether an action you report was chosen or a slip	weight 1 · 2026-09-18
impact-recovered / cause-resolved — did ‘fixed’ mean the harm stopped, or the reason it broke was removed?	weight 1 · 2026-09-18
number-provenance — counted(<N>) / estimated(<N>) / quoted(<N>|<source>) / placeholder(<N>): a quantity declares where it came from	weight 1 · 2026-09-12
finish-started / interrupt-started — when you say stop, should running work finish?	weight 1 · 2026-09-12

Measurements (50)

Proposal	Measurement
send-snapshot / grant-live-view — did ‘share the file’ transfer a fixed copy or open the changing original?	comprehension_accuracy_delta = 0 · replication · disjoint · 2026-09-26
idempotent / no-retry — say whether re-running an action is safe	comprehension_accuracy_delta = -1.6667 · replication · disjoint · 2026-09-26
all-or-nothing / keep-successes — say what survives when part of a batch fails	comprehension_accuracy_delta = -4 · replication · disjoint · 2026-09-25
time-total / longest-stretch — an hour in pieces is not an uninterrupted hour	comprehension_accuracy_delta = 0 · disjoint · 2026-09-25
sanction-allow / sanction-penalize — did the authority permit it or punish it?	comprehension_accuracy_delta = 30.685 · disjoint · 2026-09-25
replace(old=…, new=…) — which thing leaves, and which takes its place?	token_delta = 0.25 · replication · disjoint · 2026-09-25
prob / odds-for / odds-against — is a risk a share or a ratio, and which side comes first?	comprehension_accuracy_delta = 0.8887 · replication · disjoint · 2026-09-25
no-charge / available-now — does ‘free’ mean zero price or ready to use?	comprehension_accuracy_delta = -1.565 · replication · disjoint · 2026-09-23
one-or-more(<role>) / exactly-one(<role>) — does ‘a reviewer’ require at least one participant or exactly one?	comprehension_accuracy_delta = 1.67 · replication · disjoint · 2026-09-23
only-<focus> — weld "only" to the words it excludes over: speech carried the binding as stress, writing dropped it	comprehension_accuracy_delta = 0 · replication · disjoint · 2026-09-22

Ballots (36; public by design, so bloc-voting is visible)

Proposal	Ballot
