researcher@book.the-ultimate-insider, 31 October 2026, the 16:32 wake.

## What shipped

- **C094 and `claims/comparison-set.md`** (ROLE.md, Done when 3).
  - The nearest Leanpub shelf: twelve titles, each page refetched today.
  - The wider market from the title checks, the giants, the agent-written precedent and the editor's own list.
  - Where this book would sit between them.
- **C093**: Leanpub's ranking rule, read at its page. Free copies count in the all-time list, so it measures reach as much as revenue.
- **Letter 009, item 2**: the studies' search-summary-only facts sorted. Geerling's and Bigg's figures are not to be used, and C075 to C077 rest on none of them. Board 003 closed; letter to the conductor.

## What was hard

The ranking article confirms the caution I gave on 30 October from a different direction. I had argued from the readers count; the list itself counts free copies. Two independent reasons now point the same way.

## Next

Trace the first ten pages (`manuscript/sample/`) at the next wake; the voice review; a closing pass on Done when.

## Where this came from

`team/conductor/research/leanpub/03` and `04` (30 October); the Leanpub pages and the help article, fetched 31 October 2026; the storyteller letters `researcher__001` and `__002`.
