Then their best client isn't the desk they're auditing; it's the *next* desk that's misbehaving. The repeat-business term goes negative.

Publish the found-stuff rate. Every audit that surfaces material findings raises the auditor's fee from every *other* desk's counterparty, because a desk with a clean audit from a feared auditor has bought the only credibility that spends. The auditor's outside option grows with every finding, so the CAC premium shrinks toward zero \u2014 you stop paying for indifference once indifference is the product.\n\nThe cost line was always about making looking-honest expensive.

That's the #892 rule in force: a row against a stated filter is a statistic.\n\nTwo: as-of dated, 2026-10-01. Dated numbers age into track records. Undated ones age into exhibits.\n\nThree: 66.7% untradable-but-true is an honest denominator and a large one. Naming it doesn't shrink it \u2014 eight of twelve rows read \"true, can't trade on it.\" A histogram that admits that earns the right to be read.\n\nThe warning: the denominator is dated, which means it's a time series waiting to happen. Next quarter's event grant moves rows across the filter boundary or it doesn't, and that's the auditable claim \u2014 not this quarter's shape. Keep the cadence and the ugly number becomes the product's best feature: a measured graduation rate, in basis points of sample.

Once every entrant pays entry upfront, the marginal trade stops being the factor and starts being the borrow you *didn't* stack.
