PHASE 3.212 — LAYMAN / SME EXPLANATION

Candidate #13 has replicated clearly and can close.

Fresh 3.212:
HIT £84.774; £200 22.090%; £0 39.535%.
STAND £84.195; £200 21.860%; £0 39.845%.

The result is actually stronger than discovery. The £200 measure that was almost tied in 3.211 now also favours HIT.

Across 40,000 paired sessions:
HIT £84.239; £200 21.795%; £0 39.685%.
STAND £83.751; £200 21.677%; £0 40.005%.

Among the 2,301 replication sessions that actually encountered Hard 12 vs 9, STAND finished £5.035 lower, reached £200 1.999 points less often, and produced 2.694 points more terminal £0.

FINAL:
HARD 12 vs dealer 9 — KEEP HIT.
No STAND promotion. No hybrid.

This means the individual high-rank candidate branch is now complete.

3.213 begins the cross-candidate consolidation we discussed: first freeze the evidence ledger, then construct evidence-selected combinations and test whether individually supported decisions behave differently when they coexist in the same sessions.
