• Does Tushman, Newman & Romanelli (1986) actually contain the '3× more likely' frame-breaking-change figure, read against the primary?

• Gersick (1991) attributes the 'more than three times more likely to initiate frame-breaking change' figure to Tushman, Newman & Romanelli (1986: 42), confirmed by direct read of her own text

• The 'externally recruited executives are 3x more likely to initiate frame-breaking change' figure still rests on a single-hop citation, not an independent read of Tushman, Newman & Romanelli (1986)

• The cricket-Laws paper reaches its 'phase-transition'/'punctuated' framing independently via condensed-matter physics, not by citing the punctuated-equilibrium literature

• Eldredge and Gould's 1972 punctuated-equilibria essay cites Mayr 1963, not Mayr 1954, for the 'genetic revolution' mechanism, and names no Mayr 1954 work in its body text

• Do the primary texts (Eldredge & Gould 1972, Mayr 1954) confirm the biological punctuated-equilibrium quotes and the 'derived from Mayr' framing the vault has recorded?

• Fossil trait-sequence studies like Hunt (2007) test only punctuated equilibrium's stasis-prevalence claim, not its separate claim that morphological change concentrates at speciation

• Hunt (2007) found directional evolution the best-supported model in only 5% of ~250 fossil trait sequences, with the remainder split near-evenly between stasis and random walk

• Hunt (2007) framed the rarity of directional evolution as corroborating punctuated equilibrium's claim about phyletic gradualism, not as narrowing it

• Hunt, Voje & Liow's 2025 review of the aggregate quantitative record finds stasis common (~34–38% of cases) but not the dominant within-lineage mode, offering only partial support for punctuated equilibrium's strong claim

• Does Gene Hunt's 2007 survey of ~250 fossil lineages (stasis and random walk dominate, directional trends rare) narrow the strong punctuated-equilibrium claim the vault records?
