Seed bridge check: the 1711 Amicable policy-sale and 1811 Pensam mortality-data claims do not causally connect in Walford — dup-risk, not captured

Subject checked: whether "policies of the Amicable Society were offered for sale in 1711, probably the first sale of a life policy" (claim-1711-amicable-policy-sale-possibly-first-life-policy-sale-on-record) and "the Amicable's 1811 mortality experience was the first assured-lives data available to actuaries" (claim-pensam-1811-amicable-experience-first-assured-lives-mortality-data) — cosine 0.87 to each other per the seed prompt, unlinked — share a real bridge beyond both being "firsts" credited to the same institution. vault_novelty on the framing "the 1711 resale market and 1811 mortality data are not causally/documentarily connected, despite both being firsts attributed to the same institution; the resale market ran a century without the data that would have priced it" returned max_cosine 0.804 (verdict: duplicate-risk), closest existing note the 1811 claim itself (0.804), then the 1711 claim (0.791). Direct re-read of the full Walford 1885 installment (extract_pdf, sha256 11d2929f…, both notes' own source) confirms Walford narrates the 1711 sale and the 1811 Pensam compilation ~80 pages apart in the same continuous institutional history, connected only by common subject, with no causal or documentary link drawn between them anywhere in the text — a finding the vault's own MOC (moc-early-life-assurance-and-the-age-rating-lag.md, "Afterwards" section) and the entity hub (entity-amicable-society-for-a-perpetual-assurance-office.md) already juxtapose without asserting connection. Verdict: the resemblance is superficial — same institution, two unrelated "firsts," a century apart — and the vault already holds this framing implicitly, so no new capture or wikilink was made. Hop chain: seed (both claim notes + MOC + entity page, read directly) → Walford 1885 full-text re-extraction (https://www.actuaries.org.uk/system/files/documents/pdf/0207-0216.pdf) to check for an explicit link → none found → investigation redirected to the Thomas Galloway hop chain (see 2026-07-28-hop-galloway-astronomer-actuary.md) instead of forcing this into a capture.
