How statement and proof provenance work
The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.
- Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
- AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
- AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.
These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.
A finite two-stage village strategy comparison
Example
There are four groups, each with three units. The first stage assigns exactly two groups to and two to . In each group, strategy treats one unit uniformly and strategy treats two units uniformly. Let every unit's potential outcome be the total number treated in its own group: The model allows within-group interference because a unit's outcome changes with its peers' assignments.
Verification
Given: The design and estimands in Two-stage randomized design and strategy-specific effects, with , , , , and .
[F1] Two-stage randomized design and strategy-specific effects: under strategy , each group has exactly treated units; the target means average the observed potential outcomes over the within-group design and the fixed groups.
[F2] Two-stage strategy-specific effect estimators are design-unbiased: the four source strategy-contrast estimators use the within-group treatment-specific means, the across-group strategy means, and their stated differences.
In every assignment under strategy , the outcome of every unit in that group equals the fixed treated count , independently of which particular units are treated. Thus all conditional and unconditional group means under equal .
Consequently and . Substitution into the definitions gives , , , and .
In each realized group, every observed outcome equals its strategy's fixed count. The within-group mean in either treatment arm and the full group mean therefore equal that same count. Averaging over the groups assigned each strategy yields hatted means under and under , so all four observed contrasts equal the targets from step 2.1 for every assignment.
