The answer stays.

What to take from the example

Read the answer.
Keep the conditions.

Technical Proof First has a higher ceiling in the example, but concentrates risk in a few reviewer verdicts. Community-Led Entry depends more on adoption spreading through trusted relationships.

How Scene follows the response
What it depends on

Independent tests support the product. Reviewers publish inside the launch window.

What would break it

A claim outruns the evidence, or the verdict arrives after runners have chosen their race shoes.

What to watch

Reviewer requests, comparative data from Ostro and the language runners use without prompting.

Illustrative reasoning under stated assumptions. These are not observed customer results.
