# Originality and claim-boundary review

## Duplicate preflight

- The September 10 evening slot was absent before creation. The same-date morning package, *When an Unknown Odor Appears: A Stop-and-Escalate Plan for Self-Storage Managers*, and midday package, *A Portfolio Standard Is Not a Facility Setting: Build a Configuration-Drift Register*, are distinct in title, thesis, structure, examples, practical tool and publication lane.
- Screened the current Authority Control Room at commit `5804e02115b8ec7277fcbc7db98a50573374c9ac`: 46 editorial-calendar records, 366 submission records, 75 editorial/media records, 351 published-asset records and 559 evidence records. Four unrelated pre-existing untracked files were preserved.
- Screened prior daily packages, owned technical canonicals and active/submitted external manuscripts. No exact collision was found for the selected title, slug, Palisade Grove fictional example or 47-field Queue Exposure Register.
- The closest owned canonical is *Designing a Human Review Queue That Does Not Become a Bottleneck*. That article governs review-case admission, evidence completeness, qualified adjudication, workload capacity, decision clocks, approval, execution and reconciliation. The new article governs a different pre-adjudication control surface: the full AI suggestion population, admission disposition, score meaning, ordered position, actual interface exposure, below-view status and feedback interpretation. It does not reuse the earlier title, thesis, structure, fictional cases, tool or wording.
- *The Counterfactual Decision Ledger* records exposure and choice for causal-policy evaluation while preserving unobserved alternatives. This article does not estimate counterfactual outcomes; it audits which candidates were generated, ranked and actually displayed during live queue operation.
- The 65-route Jared sitemap and 139-route modSTORAGE post sitemap contained no selected-title or slug match. The selected Jared canonical and excluded modSTORAGE path returned HTTP 404; the exact WordPress slug API returned HTTP 200 with `[]`.
- The first working title, *The Queue Is Part of the Decision*, was rejected before packaging because a live September 10 search found a near-identical August 15, 2026 third-party title and thesis. The final title, exact slug, example and practical-tool searches returned no matching article.

## Relevant-corpus originality screen

- Corpus: 884 other Markdown files under the Authority Control Room, daily editorial outputs and personal-authority working repository.
- Excluded: the current article, Git data, dependencies, build, distribution, archive and render directories.
- Eligible article sentences: 64 normalized sentences containing at least 14 Unicode word tokens.
- Exact normalized matches: 0.
- Unique article six-word shingles: 2,272.
- Maximum overlap with one other file: 1 shingle, or 0.044014%. The phrase, “is voluntary and currently being revised,” is a generic limitation statement about NIST AI RMF 1.0 rather than reused editorial substance.
- Generic AI-language screen: no configured filler, fake quotation, self-aware drafting language or unsupported superlative was found in the article body.

## Claim boundary

- Palisade Grove Storage and every associated company, facility, system, person, candidate, identifier, score, source, rule, interface event, review action and outcome are explicitly fictional.
- The article does not claim a real customer, facility condition, queue, product feature, deployment, measured performance, time saving, staffing result, response-time effect, occupancy or revenue effect, certification, compliance result, award, coverage or recognition.
- NIST AI RMF 1.0 is voluntary and under revision. NIST AI 600-1 and NIST AI 800-4 are cross-sector publications and do not prescribe or certify the proposed queue design.
- The position-bias study concerns digital-library recommender systems and clicks. It is not represented as proof of self-storage employee behavior, causation or operational outcomes.
- Microsoft Research's interaction guidelines are general research guidance rather than a facility-operations standard.
- W3C PROV-DM and OpenTelemetry event conventions inform provenance and telemetry structure. They do not authenticate source evidence, establish priority fairness, grant authority or prove completion.
- Image 055 is Jared-owned AI-generated editorial material, not documentary evidence.

## Rights and publication state

The complete article is assigned only to Jared Mastroianni's personal authority site. The modSTORAGE WordPress blog must reject the same full article, title, slug, body and practical tool as a duplicate. The package is a publication-ready local draft only; no publisher handoff, repository change, CMS object, submission, schedule, publication, canonical activation, sitemap/feed inclusion, search submission, crawling, indexing, ranking, coverage or recognition occurred.
