# Adversarial review log — mots-c-mitochondrial

- **Authoring model:** Sol 6.1
- **Adversarial reviewer:** Claude Opus 5.5 (Anthropic)
- **Date:** 2026-10-14
- **Canonical file:** `hsef_v53_final_nine_2026-10-12\mots-c-mitochondrial\mots-c-mitochondrial.review.md`
- **Level before → after:** Γ — Mechanistically plausible, partial system support → **Γ** (unchanged)
- **Confidence before → after:** Moderate → Moderate (band unchanged; rationale rescoped, see F4)
- **Causal role / M / S / D:** reinforcing / stabilizing factor · Mechanistic only · Stable · Contested (all unchanged)
- **PMIDs checked:** 67/67 resolved (64 references + body-only 34525370, 39553971, 42716952); 0 failures, 0 retractions or expressions of concern
- **Load-bearing claims spot-checked:** 13
- **Validator:** FAIL (1) — `v5.lay_summary` "no lay_summary; mandatory from v5.4", 33 checks pass. **Identical on the pre-edit file**, so this is a pre-existing v5.4-versus-v5.3 mismatch and not a regression. Output saved to `validator.txt`; the original package report is preserved at `sol61-original/validation-report.json`.

## Findings by severity

| Severity | Count |
|---|---|
| Critical | 0 |
| Major | 0 |
| Minor | 3 |
| Editorial | 1 |
| **Total corrections applied** | **4** |

No factual, citation or scoring error was found. Every correction belongs to the known
reference-builder rendering defect class, which in this review is unusually dense: the builder
dropped the spaces around numerals in 57 places in the review and 44 in the score card.

## Findings table

| ID | Severity | Location | Correction | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| F1 | Minor | Evidence section, Consensus reconciliation, cards [9] [16] [18] [29] [32] [34] [53] [57] [62], decisive experiments | Twelve quantitative statements re-spaced, e.g. "intermittent15mg/kg dosing3times weekly beginning around23.5months" → "intermittent 15 mg/kg dosing 3 times weekly beginning around 23.5 months"; "events in94hemodialysis patients" → "events in 94 hemodialysis patients"; "only2of6soleus" → "only 2 of 6 soleus" | Underlying values are correct (PMID 33473109 late-life 23.5 mo, 3x/week; PMID 39111290 n=94). Dose, schedule, duration and denominators were the figures most likely to be misread. |
| F2 | Minor | Research timeline in the review, `RESEARCH_TIMELINE.md`, `research-timeline.json` | All ten milestone headings printed the year twice and ran it into the text ("**2015 — 2015:12S-rRNA-region ...**"); redundant prefix removed, space restored | Sibling reviews in the corpus print "**YYYY — Text**". |
| F3 | Editorial | Review, score card, `CONSENSUS_CROSSCHECK.md` | Forty-five further glued tokens separated ("The2015original", "Its20provider-readpapers", "universal cap3", "Step5", "rho0oractinonin", "humanMSCpretreatment", "inhibitor/cellularASO", "Original Results0–1", …) | Same defect class; no factual content changed. |
| F4 | Minor | Score card `final_score.confidence_rationale` | Rationale rested partly on "incomplete access" → rewritten to rest only on evidence density and reproducibility | The framework ties confidence to evidence density and reproducibility, not reviewer access. Band re-derived and **stays Moderate**: rodent pharmacology replicates across backgrounds and two species, but reagents, antibodies and paradigms are shared across closely connected laboratories, native-peptide immunoassay specificity is unresolved and no human administration study exists. |

Rejected findings — including the aggregation re-derivation, the declared SC2 phenotype
adaptation, the role derivation, the two unreferenced errata and the partial-body claim
audit — are recorded in the `## ADVERSARIAL REVIEW AND APPROVAL` section of the review itself.

## Files changed in this case folder

- `mots-c-mitochondrial.review.md` — F1-F4, banner, `## ADVERSARIAL REVIEW AND APPROVAL`
- `mots-c-mitochondrial.scorecard.json` — F1, F3, F4 mirrored (no level, confidence, subclaim, aggregation or M/S/D field changed)
- `RESEARCH_TIMELINE.md`, `research-timeline.json`, `CONSENSUS_CROSSCHECK.md`, `video-insert.md` — same rendering fixes
- `validator.txt` — new
- `ADVERSARIAL_REVIEW.md`, `adversarial-findings.json` — new
