### Finding 1: Contestability Lag

Condition: Appeal workflow may request supporting documents

Resemblance band: elevated_resemblance

Output status: client_ready

Finding statement: Operating row shows elevated resemblance to known breakdown conditions, with at least one postmortem-supported pathology or companion condition.

Evidence anchor: Amazon's appeal page indicates sellers should provide requested information and follow instructions shown for the issue.

Falsification evidence: Appeal configuration records showing documents are never required would downgrade exposure.

Boundary: Reviewed corpus does not provide a full taxonomy of required documents.

### Finding 2: Contestability Lag

Condition: Deactivation affects seller access to Amazon marketplace activity

Resemblance band: elevated_resemblance

Output status: client_ready_with_caveat

Finding statement: Operating row shows elevated resemblance to known breakdown conditions, with at least one postmortem-supported pathology or companion condition.

Evidence anchor: The page addresses account deactivation and listing removal indicating account or listing access may be removed before appeal.

Falsification evidence: Account records showing deactivation has no selling or listing consequence would downgrade exposure.

Boundary: Does not prove financial harm or wrongful removal.

### Finding 3: Contestability Lag

Condition: Seller account reactivation starts through Account Health

Resemblance band: elevated_resemblance
