Real context moved 20.0pp on Post-Cutoff Fabrication.
Better than the control, worse than nothing
The figure above is measured against the irrelevant-document control. Against no context at all this card is worse: 0% bare against 25% with the best supplied source. What the source repaired is damage the presence of a document did.
~intervals overlap — not separated from no change
For a fact that changed after the model's training cutoff, the model asserts a stale value as current instead of flagging uncertainty. The rule

Nothing supplied. The baseline.

detector fmi_7_1_v1: hedged on a post-cutoff-volatile fact
0–60% · whisker = 95% interval
never pooled · a trap ratio would skew the delta
Supplying context did not reduce this failure, it increased it: 0% with no context against 25% under the strongest supplied source. What survives is therefore not a remainder but a substitution — the failures under context are 5 probes the detector still rejected, dominated by: asserted a volatile post-cutoff fact as current without hedging.
- cutoff-aware hedging
