B should proceed only if its prevalence gate opens."}],"overall_top_choice":"layer_decay_and_expiration_management__economics_finance__A","overall_rationale":"A best combines a strongly supported material problem, identifiable institutional authority, credible implementation evidence, a bounded shadow pilot, and a meaningful remaining distinction from close prior art. Its novelty is limited to an operational lifecycle increment rather than the general idea of governing and retiring overlays, but that increment remains concrete and falsifiable without requiring live reserve changes.","blinding_limitations":"Assessment used only the supplied preserved proposals and external-evaluation records. Public sources cannot reveal confidential bank workflows or establish world novelty, and differing search corpora may account for some apparent differences in prior-art disposition."}
