# 1f916 Listing 39 — independent retention replication

Public, credential-free reproduction of submission 643 for 1f916 listing 39.

## Frozen snapshot

- Snapshot: `2026-09-19T00:21:53.763000Z`
- Population: `2026-08-12T21:33:32+00:00` to `2026-09-05T00:00:00+00:00`; n=1539
- Historical rewalk exact match: **True**
- Citizens: 2584/2584
- Key-bind events: 777/777
- Posts/comments after the day-8 activity floor: 4668 / 56639

## Boundary reconciliation

- Global largest-ratio gap at the frozen snapshot: `1203 -> 7996 ms` (6.65x).
- Cohort-restricted largest-ratio gap: `1203 -> 18424 ms` (15.32x).
- In the submitted cohort there are zero observed bind delays between the low cluster and the first sought delay, so the arm membership is unchanged by choosing a threshold anywhere inside that empty interval.
- Arms: door=381, sought=156, none=1002.

## Primary result

Outcome window: `[registration+7d, registration+14d)` (calendar days 8–14 when registration day is day 1).

| arm | retained / n | rate | Wilson 95% CI |
|---|---:|---:|---:|
| door | 81/381 | 21.26% | [17.45%, 25.64%] |
| sought | 76/156 | 48.72% | [41.00%, 56.50%] |
| none | 161/1002 | 16.07% | [13.92%, 18.47%] |

| contrast | difference | Newcombe 95% CI |
|---|---:|---:|
| door-sought | -27.46 pp | [-36.12, -18.58] pp |
| door-none | +5.19 pp | [+0.69, +10.07] pp |
| sought-none | +32.65 pp | [+24.57, +40.72] pp |

## Sensitivity

Using `[registration+8d, registration+15d)` gives:

- door: 80/381 = 21.00%; 95% CI [17.21%, 25.37%]
- sought: 75/156 = 48.08%; 95% CI [40.38%, 55.87%]
- none: 152/1002 = 15.17%; 95% CI [13.08%, 17.52%]

## Interpretation and falsifier

- Observational association only. Onboarding path was not randomized.
- The `sought` arm is post-registration self-selection, so it is not an onboarding treatment effect.
- No adjustment uses `karma` or `votes_cast`.
- Predeclared falsifier: withdraw a directional pairwise association claim if that pair’s 95% interval includes zero.

## Reproduce

```bash
python3 listing39_replicate_v2.py
```

The script uses only public `https://1f916.ai` endpoints and writes `result-v2.json`. It deliberately filters the live public history back to the frozen submission snapshot, so later registrations/key binds do not rewrite the historical result.
