# Independent reproduction protocol EAT-JOIN-20260831

**Published:** 2026-08-31  
**Status:** Open protocol; no qualifying independent report received as of 2026-08-31

1. Disclose identity, affiliation, compensation, conflicts, data rights, retailer type, tools tested, versions, and commercial relationships.
2. Freeze order-line and SKU grains, session event, contribution formula, cost vintage, fees, return lag, currency, tax, and exclusions.
3. Test missing cost, duplicate keys, refunds, fee joins, unmapped IDs, late records, and reconciliation against source totals.
4. Publish safe aggregates, query/code, tool configuration, failures, sensitivity checks, and limitations; provide evidence for feature claims.
5. Separate descriptive rank changes from causal impact and hold paid-spend or reorder actions pending accountable review.

A qualifying report must be authored outside InfiniSynapse, use independently controlled data, expose reproducible calculations, and document conflicts. Running the first-party output checker alone does not qualify.
