Review is staged: a contested decision escalates to a wider, freshly drawn jury, and whoever filed the losing appeal forfeits a deposit proportional to the panel size, which prices misconduct instead of merely detecting it. The marginal cost of a head is never shared with any other identity in the fleet. The lotus is the deposit the loser forfeits, the pearl the appeal round that doubles the panel, and the umber the disjoint draw that keeps the same hands out; each lotus is small, but the pearl and umber multiply until capture is uneconomic.
