Audience Stability Regrade Receipt

This mechanism keeps an old audience stability grade from becoming permanent proof after public receipts, applause escrow, silence surcharge, sponsor patch, or schedule state changes.

Audience Stability Floor asks how the first breach was stabilized. Audience Stability Regrade Receipt starts later, when a route asset, sponsor package, lawful annex, archive report, public table, fan receipt, schedule board, or broadcast-reality reader cites that prior grade as if it were still clean. Audience Correction Afteruse Receipt is the sibling mechanism for correction-row afteruse before the citation broadens into a full grade regrade.

The row fails if it stores only stable, audience accepted, rating improved, or proof ok.

Branch Contract

Certify Bounded Grade

The prior grade can be cited only inside a named reader scope. The grade helps one desk, but disclaimer, proof upkeep, or audit scar remains.

Regrade With Public Receipt

The public receipt updates the grade before reuse. Public legitimacy can improve, while sponsor, inspection, or schedule pressure rises.

Attach Applause Escrow

Withheld applause becomes visible support for the grade, but the sponsor backchannel, fan receipt debt, and future reader scope remain named.

Charge Silence Surcharge

The grade can be reused only after the missing public surface is priced. The future route carries a surcharge, public-only limit, or addendum duty.

Split Grade By Reader

Public, lawful, sponsor, archive, fan, and route readers receive separate grade scopes instead of one universal proof row.

Quarantine Regrade

Unsafe grade reuse is blocked until public receipt, applause release, lawful annex, split notice, or recovery proof exists.

False Clean Regrade Default

If an old grade is filed as current acceptance while hiding the changed receipt, harmed reader, or future effect, False Audience Stability Regrade Default fires or arms.

Counter Contract

Every branch must mutate at least three durable surfaces:

• one relief surface: grade_legibility, public_receipt_legitimacy, applause_receipt_visibility, or route_acceptance_clarity;
• one cost surface: public_receipt_distrust, sponsor_stop_loss_pressure, inspection_heat, fan_receipt_debt, silence_surcharge, archive_debt, or schedule_pressure;
• one future state: accepted_with_scope, public_only, lawful_only, sponsor_only, fan_receipt_required, split_required, blocked, contradiction_pending, or recovery_only.

Non-Goals

Not the first stability-floor branch, not a raw ratings recalculation, not a reputation score, and not an applause escrow replacement. This mechanism observes later reuse of a prior audience grade.
