SETUP EXCLUSIONS, NOT LEARNER FINDINGS

Two initial browser attempts encountered another prototype at the shared preview root. The first low-preparation attempt produced a blocker report without any Hearing observations; the first high-school route was a different game. Neither counts among the nine accepted reviews. Their raw setup notes remain in working QA records, not the student findings.

Accepted interface observations began only after verifying The Hearing title and its four country choices. T1 then combined limited verified interface use with a clearly separated cold read. T2 and T4 record their actual stages, authored work and stopping points. None completed a newly filed full record in round three. Protocol/transport failures are infrastructure limits, not evidence of ordinary-user confusion.

The later T2 retest is informed and sampled. It is not a tenth blind review, a full replay, a physical-phone test, an accessibility certification, or human evidence of learning/time. The two remaining wording issues it found were subsequently corrected and the state/content checks rerun.
