# Social variants — The green path that checked the wrong finish line

These are prepared creative variants, not distribution receipts. They must not be described as posted or distributed until an official transport returns a durable receipt.

## 4:5 feed variant

**Asset:** `social-4x5.svg` (1080 × 1350)

**Caption**

Checkout passed. Fulfillment passed. Tracking existed. The outcome still failed.

The missing check was settlement ownership: the system verified the customer-visible finish line and never verified who owned the destination.

The response was a shadow detector, not a production block. It reproduced the one known mismatch, left two negative cases clear, deferred one incomplete case, and made no production mutations.

No victory lap: the post-control window has no eligible real observations, so no improvement is claimed.

## 9:16 story / short variant

**Asset:** `social-9x16.svg` (1080 × 1920)

**Frame copy / narration beats**

1. The path was green.
2. Checkout: complete. Fulfillment: complete. Tracking: present.
3. The money reached the wrong ownership destination.
4. Escape behavior: the system checked the visible finish line.
5. Adaptation: compare expected vs. observed destination—in shadow mode.
6. Replay: one known mismatch caught; two negatives clear; one incomplete case deferred.
7. Limit: no eligible real post-control observations. Improvement remains unproven.
8. Engineering by Selection Pressure.
