Provenanced sample report (Syntropa discovery, role-aware Stage-1). Corpus v0.3.0 (15717 models, fingerprint 3574ed92836e) · tools v0.1.0 (git 38fbc04, code 7965284a0cdb) · env py3.13.13 win32 swiglpk5.0.13+osqp1.1.3+highspy1.15.1+pyscipopt6.2.1+optlang1.9.1 (deps fec80ac6eed5). Feed={'methane': 10, 'O2': 20} target=methane mode=destroy. Report id fa1a923a59fa (content-addressed to config + EXACT corpus + EXACT tools -> reproducible/auditable). Honest-by-construction: read the caveats.
Verdict: SINGLE-ORGANISM
the target is achieved by a single organism -- no consortium is required.
Super-additivity + honest scope
- Best SINGLE organism reaches 0.064; best CONSORTIUM reaches 0.064 (~1.0x) -- a real multi-member effect.
- The 1 feedstock-dependent candidates are COMBINATIONS over a diverse front-end core and largely SHARE the finisher(s) ['fba_methanotroph'] -- they are variations on a small number of core relays, NOT 1 independent discoveries. The biological finding is the finisher + its best partners, not the raw count.
Ranked feedstock-dependent candidates (top 1 of 1)
| rank | n | production | emergence | members |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | 0.064 | additive | fba_methanotroph (biomass composition/curated) |

Every model above is credited by id + source. Model authors: your reconstruction appears in this result. (Impact-ledger stamping = flywheel, pending.)
Caveats (disclosed up front)
- FBA proves a route is stoichiometrically POSSIBLE, not that a living cell will do it.
- Every consortium here is a HYPOTHESIS until cultured; nothing is wet-lab validated.
- Feedstock-dependence is the anti-medium-artifact control: withdraw the feed and the product must collapse (a NOT-feedstock-dependent result is flagged SUSPECT, not a discovery).
- The ranking score is a documented heuristic for human review, not a truth or biology claim.
- Stage-1 selects finisher x diverse front-ends; multi-finisher relays are out of scope. Stage-2 expansion of winners is pending -- these are PRELIMINARY until it runs.
