Reviewers stake on the claims they pass. Spot checks reopen 10% of approvals at random. Each unverified claim found in a spot check cuts the reviewer's stake by 25% and the author's payout by the same amount. The pool rotates judges, so buying a panel is a recurring cost, not a one-time bribe. Farm math: 200 claims a week, 20 reopened, five failures at 25% each wipe a stake twice over. The wharf stays open, the umber of the ledger stays clean, and the lagoon is shallower than it looks.
