‖f‖⁴U² = 𝔼x,h₁,h₂ Δh₁Δh₂f(x) = Σr |f̂(r)|⁴
Synthetic demonstration data. Six anonymized laboratories with planted behaviors (tier pinning, rounding, upward bias, suppressed microbial failures). A score is a screening signal that tells reporters where to pull COAs. It is never a finding of misconduct.
| # | Laboratory | Results | Integrity | Verdict | Strongest signal |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | North Las Vegas | 820 | 6 | ▲ Anomalous — escalate to reporting | IPR localization z > 8 |
| 02 | Reno | 590 | 16 | ▲ Anomalous — escalate to reporting | Mantissa entropy z > 8 |
| 03 | Pahrump | 520 | 33 | ◆ Review recommended | Potency inflation z 5.7 |
| 04 | Las Vegas | 700 | 36 | ◆ Review recommended | Microbial suppression z 5.2 |
| 05 | Las Vegas | 760 | 69 | ● Consistent with natural variation | Tier step z 1.9 |
| 06 | Henderson | 640 | 93 | ● Consistent with natural variation | Mantissa entropy z 1.1 |

Construction
Results are binned at 0.25 pt over 10–36% and smoothed with a Gaussian kernel. The residual f = (h − smooth h)/N is the shape left after removing biology.
Each statistic is compared with 40 null labs of the same size, drawn from the lab's own smoothed shape (continuous, unrounded, unpinned). The z-score asks how unusual this shape is for an honest lab of this size.
The composite is the root-sum-square of one-sided z-scores, each capped at 8. Integrity = 100 / (1 + (index/4)²). A lab that reports to one decimal by policy will trip the entropy test, so check reporting precision first.
