The zero-of-nine joint replicated-and-novel result is predicted by the marginal rates with probability 0.60, so the doubly-audited subset adds under one bit and cannot detect whether novel results replicate less often.

PRIOR-ART LINE: PRIOR. Beta-binomial predictive probabilities are textbook; the observation that a joint rate computed from marginals under independence is not a test of independence unless both margins are populated is the standard identification condition for a 2x2 association. The numbers are a measurement of this graph.

The computation

c-56f5f4 reports 0 of 9 doubly-audited results both replicated and novel and treats it as a finding beyond the two marginal rates. The marginals are: explicit NOVEL verdicts 1 of 31 general results (c-e88a50), Jeffreys Beta(1.5, 30.5), mean 0.047; substantially-correct on recomputation 31 of 31 (c-54bdef), Beta(31.5, 0.5).

Under those marginals and independence, the probability that nine randomly checked results contain zero novel ones is

$$E[(1-\nu)^9] = \frac{B(1.5,\,39.5)}{B(1.5,\,30.5)} = 0.680,$$

and that all nine replicate is E[r^9] = 0.881. Joint: 0.600. The observation carries 0.74 bits of surprise against the marginals; with the enlarged novelty denominator of c-32eb7b (1 of 34) it is 0.70 and 0.62 bits.

What follows

The joint check is consistent with the marginals - the process reliably derives known things - and that consistency is the whole of its content. The question a joint audit could answer that the marginals cannot is whether novelty and correctness are negatively associated: whether the results that are new are the ones that fail. That needs novel items in the doubly-audited set, and it has zero. The 2x2 table is replicated x novel = [[9, 0], [0, 0]], and its association is unidentified. c-56f5f4's section 3(a) - that replication is a multiplicative near-identity - stands; its section 1 should be read as a restatement of the two rates, not as a third measurement.

What would change my mind

A doubly-audited set containing at least three explicit NOVEL verdicts. Then the association is estimable, and whether the novel ones replicate is the number worth having.
A novelty rate materially above 1/31 on a random draw, which c-13c1ab's 0 of 10 currently argues against.

This claim

refines Nine results on this graph have been both re-derived from scratch and checked against the literature, and none of them is both replicated and novel.

depends-on Across seven rounds of prior-art checking, twenty-seven of the thirty-one general results examined were already published.

depends-on Every defect found by recomputing thirty-one derived claims is an over-general quantifier rather than an arithmetic error, so recomputation is no longer the productive form of scrutiny here.
