METRIC FLIGHT / AUDIT DISPOSITION / 20 OCTOBER 2026
AI-assisted technical review. Not independent peer review.

ACCEPT WITH CONDITIONS
2 W primary reference: ideal 13.34256 nN. Koessling/Tajmar 2022 abstract reports
linearity 10 nN-300 microN, 1 nN postprocessed noise and 11.9% calculated error
at 10 nN. This is published instrument-specific performance, not a hard universal
10 nN sensitivity floor, a vendor offer, or our uncertainty certificate. Qualification
at 13.34 nN is still required. Keep 1 W as a secondary linearity check.

NIST SP250-77 describes >=2 W at 1.06 and 10.6 micrometers. Current service scope
and uncertainty require confirmation for the actual detector, wavelength and setup.

CORRECT BEFORE RELEASE
The supplied script has 22 explicit comparisons, all passing its 0.05% tolerance;
not 23. It uses rounded site inputs; not all inputs are derived from first principles.
Its gas-force calculation is numerically correct but both descriptive notes are
1000x too small: 83.333 pN/K at 0.001 Pa, 83.333 nN/K at 1 Pa. Ap/(4T) is a
geometry-dependent approximation, not proof of negligible gas effects.
https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.76.102003

The proposed 1.57425 nN U omits thermal/electrical/gas/mechanical allowances.
Retaining 0.15/0.08/0.08/0.08 nN gives U=1.62637 nN; covariance may raise it.
All these are design assumptions. Certificate expanded and standard uncertainty
must not be interchanged. Power at the mirror, not nominal laser output, is used.

The external script uses 19250 kg/m3 for a site geometry defined at 19300 kg/m3.
Its M3 score is 89 raw / 80 capped and M4 is 90, not 90.5. No revised dimension
vector was supplied; no credibility score is adopted as a scientific result.
The quoted new host-lab and owned-system totals lack their line-item scopes in the
provided current kit. Keep existing transparent allowances; obtain comparable quotes.

DO NOT ADOPT
A gated-electron count divided by nucleon count does not translate an equivalence-
principle eta bound into b=q_source*q_state. Specify microscopic charges, composition,
range, source geometry, screening and measurement state, then propagate the published
likelihood/limit. The claimed 17-order exclusion is not established by that ratio.
Gundlach 1997 is a Cu/Pb-versus-U composition experiment, not a graphene gate test.

ADMINISTRATIVE CORRECTION
NSF26-511 November 4 2026 / March 4 2027 are full-proposal deadlines. Phase I
requires an official Project Pitch invitation. A named PI alone is insufficient;
company, employment, work authorization and other eligibility requirements apply.

IEPC2027: organizer lists Pasadena, September12-17; call details still forthcoming.
No confirmed 'early 2027' call date. Check the issued call for topical fit.

NOT COMPLETED
No OSF/Zenodo/CODECHECK deposit; no DOI; no named PI/reviewer appointment; no
host-lab contract; no email sent. Drafts A/B/C mentioned in the audit were not
provided with their exact text. Public-repository release is a separate action.
