These are prepared proposal counts, not an owner-selected game size. Thirteen is not every interactive object: R26/R33 service transformations, the R02/R03 board/rack, ordinary doors and join faces stay owned by their room/interface descriptions rather than becoming extra P-identities. Campaign36 response536 reports **26 deduplicated evidence entries**, but PM disposition and its narrow source-verification clarification539 remain pending; 26 is therefore a submitted count, not an accepted final ledger.

They are deduplicated index rows, not 26 new objects or single captures; its L/S/A labels are local aliases and do not replace source ownership or established identities.
The 15 SMALL survivor scenes include rescue and home follow-through. Home-project scenes should be assigned within that ledger where possible; if an additional scene is necessary, record the increment instead of silently exceeding fifteen. Branches are variations of a named scene, but each materially different consequence still needs writing and state review.

The prior **144–247 role-hour** envelope is retained as a **dated 8 September planning history**. It described work beginning before Regional25 through scope/handoff and combined authoring, review, response and PM integration. It was never a timesheet, and accepted outcomes cannot now be charged again in full. Fast assignment-to-post turnaround records elapsed pipeline time; they do not measure the productive labor needed for every branch, source check or later content implementation.

As of Campaign36 closeout on 9 September, v1 has usable first-pass contracts and finite inventories across all fifteen domains. That is not M3 closure. Verified alignment514 reconciled the global continuity candidate across its named save, connection, rescue, cast, room, encounter, opening, information, death and shifting parents. Verified alignment528 reconciled the accepted mechanical quantities/interfaces across its named catalogue, survival, acquisition, combat, home, room, encounter, build, connection, information, save and continuity parents. Campaign36/PM545 then closed the actual-ID/evidence/state crosswalk for eight chains, fifteen scenes and 26 index entries. Those bounded changes discharge their named contradictions; they do **not** automatically satisfy every broader “M3: reconcile” line in Design Coverage.

This is a workload allowance, not a countdown or observed throughput claim. Campaign36 and scope37 are already in flight, so elapsed calendar time may be shorter than dividing these hours serially. The critical risks are a source contradiction that needs a bounded parent repair, a consequential unresolved interface, or unavailable review/integration capacity—not prose volume.
+
This is a forward workload allowance, not a timesheet, a subtraction from chat turnaround or an observed throughput rate. After this response is delivered, the remaining37 share is principally PM verification/disposition within the 4–8 row; the range is not retrospectively reduced by guessing how much productive labor already occurred. Any concrete Coverage residue found by the coherence pass stays inside its 10–18-hour bounded-repair allowance unless the pass demonstrates genuinely new scope.

The PM's adopted **F1.14** calendar remains the current management forecast: M2 coherent core **11 September (10–14 September)**; complete first-pass M3 wiki **14 September (11–18 September), low confidence**; M4 detailed campaign **10 November (20 October–1 December), low confidence**. This scope analysis does not silently replace those dates. The 28–50-hour remainder is compatible with the M3 range only if the existing Lead, Reviewer, Systems and PM work can continue in parallel and the coherence pass finds bounded corrections. A new technical/production specialist on 10 September is conditional on a concrete independent gap and is not counted as available capacity. No extra permanent role or two guaranteed specialists are assumed.

The range is broad because actual branch density, permitted arrangements, final dialogue depth and Campaign36's accepted evidence ledger are not yet known. It is not derived from agent typing speed, and it does not prove that the 10 November forecast is achievable. That forecast remains a low-confidence calendar judgment: it requires parallel authoring, bounded revision, no fundamental core-rule reversal and timely owner decisions only where work truly depends on them. Three representative detailed packages—a repeatable mechanism room, a two-language investigation with correction, and a short rescue/home arc—should be authored and independently checked before narrowing this allowance or extrapolating campaign duration.

The older owning-article envelopes remain dated local planning history and useful decomposition evidence, but the M4 table above is the current cross-domain roll-up after accepted v1 depth is removed. **Do not add either the old full envelopes or their v1 work to 350–590.** When those parents next receive an otherwise necessary M4 edit, Survival And Loadout, Equipment Catalogue/Acquisition and Player Information should label their old ranges as absorbed by “System detail and information”; Traps And Encounter Progression should point to “Encounters and mechanisms”; Save And Content State should point to “Persistence, compatibility and integration.” No parent write is needed solely to spread that note.
The owner's **30/90/100–200-hour** ambitions remain unproven. SMALL is a costed candidate for estimating authored work, not an owner-selected downgrade or a demonstrated playtime band. TARGET and STRETCH remain alternatives whose branch interactions require their own estimate rather than multiplication from SMALL.
