          "reasoning": "Resolution: majority selects DUK as Raw Try. The record proves an observed constructive path and a researchable catalyst, not completed confirmation. The decision is separate from the market narrative; no candidate is Caught because DUK supplies a next check and falsifier."

          "reasoning": "TMO remains the dissenting alternative, not the selected case. Its India thesis has a long runway, but the evidence does not say why today, and the insider-sale event does not improve the near-term mechanism. DUK gives us a falsifiable question now."

          "reasoning": "Reproducibility remains the gate. The evidence includes a current point, but fresh-public-intelligence is stale and follow-up is recoverable. No new web lookup is needed to decide; the next provider check is required before a stronger status."

          "reasoning": "Survival favors DUK over GPUS and RKTO, where liquidity and spread risk dominate. A normal-volume move near the high can disappear. Invalidation is concrete: financing-driven rejection or loss of VWAP with expanding volume."

          "reasoning": "CAH is below VWAP with weak relative sector performance; RKLB is below VWAP and down; DBD reverses lower; BABA and TMO are stronger over twenty days but quiet and extended. DUK wins the immediate structure comparison, not every horizon."
