The funnel

Arena anomaly → candidate → fresh preregistered test → attempted falsification. On completion this page reports either CLAIM DID NOT SURVIVE (the usual outcome — the product working) or PREDEFINED NULL REJECTED (rare; next step is replication).

Arena standing and Lab outcome coexist: a champion can fail the Lab, and that is not a contradiction.
