## Alternate narratives
Additional observations that diverge from the verified record without contradicting it — surfaced for context, not correction.

- **Description** — Press digest says "Netflix is experiencing a challenging period with its stock down 45% over the past year due to slowing revenue growth and competition. Despite meeting Wall Street's estimates in the second quarter, the company's third-quarter guidance fell short, causing a sharp post-earnings drop. Netflix is focusing on live programming to boost engagement and subscriber count, having seen six of the top 10 days…" (confidence 45%, as of 2026-08-12). Additive alternate observation vs the verified record (Entidex pipeline).

## Accuracy summary
- AI engines agreed with the verified record on 29 of 40 decidable cross-checks (73% (95% CI 57.2–83.9%)).
- Excluded from the denominator: 4 duplicate rows (excluded — same defect across snapshots).
