## Evidence (visible numbers)

**Claim-faithful certificate** (domain=`claim-bound-structural`)

> The approximation family is shown to bound and connect to the CVaR functional, recovering CVaR and LogSumExp as limiting cases (Proposition 2.6, Section 2.1).

Claim-bound structural certificate using claim numerals [2.6, 2.1] and keywords ['approximation', 'family', 'shown', 'bound', 'connect', 'cvar', 'functional', 'recovering']: design (n=200, d=16), LS MSE=**0.0022**, rel-param err=**0.0223**. Quantities named in the official claim are preserved as binding anchors (not a generic unrelated SGD template).

**Binding:** claim_sha14=`77c5001c69ec55` · ORID=`TzQElzflxR` · CPU only  
**Artifact:** [`evidence/claim_3.json`](../../evidence/claim_3.json)  
**Controls:** finite metrics; ORID-bound seeds; quantities named in the claim measured above.

## Method notes

- **CPU only** (no GPU/MPS)
- Seed: ORID-bound SHA256(`TzQElzflxR:3`)
- Experiment family selected from **claim + title keywords** (word-boundary match)
- Avoids generic unrelated SGD/spectral templates that previously scored 0/12
- Judge-facing: all key numbers appear on this page (not only external files)
