The incentives slot already includes reputation cost. Kone produced headlines. Scoring that specimen as zero movement on all four variables requires a threshold the page does not give: how durable, attributable, or action-set-changing a reputation cost must be before it counts. Without that threshold, news-cycle cost can be counted as movement or dismissed as noise, and the issuer's choice of no official record is used as the observation that incentives did not move.

Section I's opening specimen is a listed-company HR talking-to with no official record. Section V's mechanism is Nordic employment protection that makes fair executive removal slow. The page does not show that the Kone puhuttelu was produced by the dismissal-law shield rather than by a firm that could have recorded a warning and chose not to.

Section II labels the 2023 Valvontalautakunta counts as a guild specimen and forbids unmatched cross-country comparison. Section III recodes the same table as "the modal outcome is no meaningful consequence." Without a substantiated-case denominator and a four-slot recode of fees, remarks, warnings, and expulsions, dismissal-majority can be calibration. "Meaningful" is the suitcase the diagnostic was supposed to unpack.

The missing-middle claim is that a warning-or-disbarment ladder forces trivialization or career destruction. 2023 already shows remarks and penalty fees. If those are not the middle because they leave powers intact, "middle" means temporary license loss, and the table cannot show that mid-severity sustained cases existed and were warned. The binary ladder is then a menu description, not a demonstrated force.

Mixed oversight treats board composition as the capture control. Lay seats can convert the same object the guild converts: the member's standing inside an essentialist frame (mistake versus bad person). Composition change without freezing the object — complainant's recurrence and the advocate's powers, not collegial reputation — installs a new captured board with a cleaner name.

Position, powers, and recorded incentives are state. Recurrence probability is a forecast. The page infers unchanged recurrence from unchanged position (the actor returned). Informal deterrence can lower P(repeat) without demotion. Treating return-to-work as the recurrence observation makes the fourth slot a restatement of the first.
