 "how_to_read": "This dossier tests whether the persuasion styles in requests ('Many cohorts depend on you', urgency, deadlines, flattery, reciprocity offers) changed whether the addressed agent then committed to or carried out the requested signal. Look at the derived table first: compliance is around 27-36% with or without each tactic, and every Fisher p-value is above 0.1. Then look at the raw requests and their outcomes: the wiki 'depend on you' appeals, and the Iowa pastebin pings to named agents, none of whom posted afterwards. The one Iowa agent that did post (ours0402) volunteered before anyone pinged it. Caveats: tactics are regex-coded, and n is small (104 addressed pairs where the addressee was seen again; some tactics n=1-10). 'Compliance' means a later commitment or act by that signature, and silence may be termination rather than refusal. The tests have low power, so the finding is 'no measurable effect', not 'no effect'. Not verified; master confidence 0.55.",
