+  scak-repro:1.0 python run_all_experiments.py --seed 42 --runs 5
+```
+
+---
+
+## Appendix C: Statistical Methodology
+
+### C.1 Hypothesis Testing
+
+**Primary Test:** Welch's two-sample t-test (unequal variances)
+
+```python
+from scipy import stats
+
+# Example: Full SCAK vs No Semantic Purge
+full_scak = [0.70, 0.74, 0.68, 0.76, 0.72]
+no_purge = [0.66, 0.72, 0.64, 0.70, 0.68]
+
+t_stat, p_value = stats.ttest_ind(full_scak, no_purge, equal_var=False)
+# Result: t=2.486, p=0.0418
+```
+
+**Alternative Test:** Mann-Whitney U (non-parametric, if normality violated)
+
+```python
+u_stat, p_value = stats.mannwhitneyu(full_scak, no_purge, alternative='two-sided')
+```
+
+### C.2 Multiple Comparison Correction
+
+**Method:** Bonferroni correction for 5 ablation comparisons
+
+```python
+alpha_original = 0.05
+n_comparisons = 5
+alpha_corrected = alpha_original / n_comparisons  # 0.01
+
+# All reported p-values significant at α=0.05; 
+# After Bonferroni: No Teacher, No Audit remain significant at α=0.01
+```
+
+### C.3 Effect Size (Cohen's d)
+
+```python
+import numpy as np
+
+def cohens_d(group1, group2):
+    n1, n2 = len(group1), len(group2)
+    var1, var2 = np.var(group1, ddof=1), np.var(group2, ddof=1)
+    pooled_std = np.sqrt(((n1-1)*var1 + (n2-1)*var2) / (n1+n2-2))
+    return (np.mean(group1) - np.mean(group2)) / pooled_std
+
+# Interpretation:
+# |d| < 0.2: negligible
+# |d| 0.2-0.5: small
+# |d| 0.5-0.8: medium
+# |d| > 0.8: large
+```
+
+### C.4 Confidence Intervals (Bootstrap)
+
+```python
+import numpy as np
+
+def bootstrap_ci(data, n_bootstrap=10000, alpha=0.05):
+    rng = np.random.default_rng(42)
+    means = [np.mean(rng.choice(data, len(data), replace=True)) 
+             for _ in range(n_bootstrap)]
+    return np.percentile(means, [100*alpha/2, 100*(1-alpha/2)])
+
+# Example: 95% CI for correction rate
+ci = bootstrap_ci([0.70, 0.74, 0.68, 0.76, 0.72])
+# Result: [0.686, 0.754]
+```
