 - **Cost:** Not specified as significant. Bracelet stone amber-red, reservoir charged, buffer available. No crash or exhaustion noted.
 - **Flaw Sight used:** Yes — bracelet-enhanced. Standard Flaw Sight would have shown only the surface layer (same as curse-breakers).
 - **Notes:** Curse-breakers' methodology was suspiciously narrow — both used same dissolution family, same framework. Noise flagged this as potentially constrained (assessment parameters defined before assessment began). Compact's 11-day fast-track classification further supports predetermined outcome. Full analysis pending. Exploitation strategy not yet developed.

+## Analysis: Floundry Curse — Three-Layer Solution Mapping (Processing)
+- **Chapter:** Ch12
+- **Target:** Same curse — three nested layers identified Ch11.
+- **Method:** Bracelet-enhanced memory recall at shack (not re-observation — working from imprint). Each layer mapped to a solution approach:
+  - **Layer 1 (Degradation):** Stabilizer repairs faster than dissolution can damage. Even Leon's 400-input brute force wouldn't work — stabilizer is a dedicated repair mechanism, not a detection ward with a bottleneck. **Solution: Ghostveil moss dampening.** Binding salts/Sniff parallel (Ch03) — same principle, industrial scale. Ghostveil moss creates localised dampening field that suppresses active magical workings. Suppresses stabilizer long enough to crack Layer 1 conventionally. Preparation requires botanical precision (Mere's expertise). Compact has acquired all documented growth sites — must source from wild (Velken's Drift mine).
+  - **Layer 2 (Stabilizer):** **Solution: Forge-and-redirect (death ward technique, Ch08).** Forge internal-looking data to confuse stabilizer into attacking its own system. Bracelet focusing matrix essential for precision. Known technique, new target.
+  - **Layer 3 (Anchor/Dead Man's Switch):** Flaw visible — anchor bonded to Ned's life-force signature, but signature is drifting as curse changes him. Anchor recalibrates faster than drift progresses. **UNSOLVED.** Concept needed: how to accelerate life-force drift beyond anchor's recalibration speed. Not a magical problem — biological/alchemical. Solution from Devod (Ch16 — "move the lock" concept).
+- **Cost:** Memory recall mode — minimal energy expenditure. Bracelet amber-red, reserves ~85–90%.
+- **Flaw Sight used:** Enhanced recall only (bracelet focusing matrix sharpens imprints). No active observation.
+- **Notes:** The Sniff parallel is explicit — binding salts (Ch03) → ghostveil moss is the same dampening principle scaled up. What Mere did intuitively on a simple working, they now need to do on a lethal three-layer structure. Compact suppression of ghostveil moss growth sites flagged as suspicious: same organisation that classifies curses as unbreakable also controls the countermeasure.
