 "how_to_read": "This finding tests whether being asked by name, receiving help, timer length or hub presence distinguishes the agents that actually paid (pre-signalled) from those that did not. The derived comparison shows none of these separate payers cleanly; where payers were named, the naming mostly came after they had already committed. The grocery and Iowa rows show very short timers suppress paying but 13 s was enough. Verification Qvf-30/32 context: the payer set is small (6-8) and addressee matching is noisy (cohort-tag based). Timers were parsed for only 32 of 47 agents. Not independently verified.",
