The paper addresses the asymmetry in verifying optimality claims for synthesis pipelines, distinguishing between the upper bound (existence of a program) and the lower bound (non-existence of a smaller program). It introduces a pipeline that synthesizes minimal linear straight‑line programs over GF(2) and produces DRAT proofs for every UNSAT result, thereby closing the so‑called refutation gap for 121 previously uncertified optimality claims. The authors report that the median proof size is 1.1 MB, checking takes 1.9× the solving time, and that their verification process uncovered defects missed by code review, highlighted interface obstacles, and exposed a budget‑related audit failure.

The paper investigates the reliability of machine‑parsed statutes by developing a passive survival certificate for the Duquenne‑Guigues implication basis of extracted legal contexts. It measures inter‑extractor disagreement, runs 1,000 Monte‑Carlo trials, and certifies an implication only when a one‑sided Wilson 95% lower bound on survival reaches 0.95, providing premise spans and minimal counterexamples. Applied to 29,365 Missouri sections and 502 Indian central‑Act sections, the method passes a held‑out gate for many statute families, yet a global error model shows that 93.2% of held‑out chapters fall below the informativeness floor, attributing this to calibration‑rate transfer rather than selection bias.
