+**Lambda estimates: which to use**
+
+The profiler calculates lambda (mutations per gene copy) via two methods:
+
+| Method | Formula | Error Quantified? | Used For |
+|--------|---------|-------------------|----------|
+| Simple | `(hit_rate - bg_rate) × seq_len` | No | KDE plot, Monte Carlo simulation |
+| Consensus | Precision-weighted average across Q-scores | Yes | Recommended for reporting |
+
+- **For publication/reporting**: Use the consensus value from `KEY_FINDINGS.txt` or `aa_mutation_consensus.txt`.
+- **For understanding distribution shape**: See the KDE plot in `summary_panels.png` (note: uses simple lambda).
+- **For detailed error analysis**: See `detailed/comprehensive_qc_data.csv`.
+
+The `KEY_FINDINGS.txt` file provides a plain-language summary including:
+- Expected AA mutations per gene copy
+- Poisson-based interpretation (% wild-type, % 1 mutation, % 2+ mutations)
+- Quality assessment (GOOD/ACCEPTABLE/LOW COVERAGE)
 
 **How the mutation rate and AA expectations are derived**
 
-1. Reads are aligned to both the region of interest and the full plasmid. Mismatches in the region define the “target” rate; mismatches elsewhere provide the background.
+1. Reads are aligned to both the region of interest and the full plasmid. Mismatches in the region define the "target" rate; mismatches elsewhere provide the background.
 2. The per-base background rate is subtracted from the target rate to yield a net nucleotide mutation rate, and the standard deviation reflects binomial sampling and quality-score uncertainty.
-3. The net rate is multiplied by the CDS length to estimate λ_bp (mutations per copy). Monte Carlo simulations then flip random bases, translate the mutated CDS, and count amino-acid differences across 1,000 trials—these drives the AA mutation mean/variance that appear in the panel plot.
+3. The net rate is multiplied by the CDS length to estimate λ_bp (mutations per copy). Monte Carlo simulations then flip random bases, translate the mutated CDS, and count amino-acid differences across 1,000 trials—these drive the AA mutation mean/variance that appear in the panel plot.
 4. If multiple Q-score thresholds are analysed, the CLI aggregates them via a precision-weighted consensus (1 / standard deviation weighting) after filtering out thresholds with insufficient coverage; the consensus value is written to `aa_mutation_consensus.txt` and plotted as a horizontal guide.

+=======================================
+
+This document explains the different mutation rate estimates produced by the
+EP library profiler and which outputs use which estimates.
+
+
+LAMBDA CALCULATION METHODS
+--------------------------
+
+1. SIMPLE LAMBDA (used for KDE plot and Monte Carlo simulation)
+
+   Formula: lambda_bp = (hit_rate - bg_rate) * sequence_length
+
+   Where:
+   - hit_rate = total_mismatches / total_covered_bases (in target region)
+   - bg_rate = total_mismatches / total_covered_bases (in plasmid excluding target)
+   - sequence_length = length of target CDS in base pairs
+
+   This method:
+   - Does NOT include error propagation
+   - Does NOT weight by Q-score
+   - Is fast and provides a point estimate
+
+   Used in:
+   - summary_panels.png/pdf (Panel 4: KDE of AA mutations)
+   - summary.txt
+   - aa_mutation_distribution.csv
+
+
+2. Q-SCORE WEIGHTED LAMBDA (used in comprehensive QC analysis)
+
+   Formula: lambda_bp_weighted = net_weighted_rate * sequence_length
+
+   Where:
+   - net_weighted_rate = hit_weighted_rate - bg_weighted_rate
+   - Weighted rates account for per-base Q-score uncertainty
+   - Weights = 1 - sqrt(10^(-Q/10)) for each position
+
+   This method:
+   - DOES include error propagation
+   - DOES weight by Q-score (higher Q-score = higher weight)
+   - Provides confidence intervals
+
+   Used in:
+   - comprehensive_qc_data.csv
+   - error_analysis.png
+
+
+3. CONSENSUS LAMBDA (recommended for reporting)
+
+   Formula: Precision-weighted average across Q-score thresholds
+
+   weights[i] = 1 / std_aa_mutations[i]
+   consensus_mean = sum(weights * means) / sum(weights)
+
+   This method:
+   - Aggregates estimates from multiple Q-score filtering thresholds
+   - Weights by precision (lower uncertainty = higher weight)
+   - Requires minimum coverage threshold (default 1000 mappable bases)
+   - Provides the most robust estimate when multiple thresholds pass QC
+
+   Used in:
+   - aa_mutation_consensus.txt
+   - KEY_FINDINGS.txt
+   - QC plots (red dashed line)
+
+
+WHICH VALUE SHOULD I USE?
+-------------------------
+
+For publication/reporting:
+  Use the CONSENSUS value from aa_mutation_consensus.txt or KEY_FINDINGS.txt
+  This is the most statistically robust estimate.
+
+For understanding the distribution shape:
+  Use the KDE plot in summary_panels.png
+  Note: This uses the SIMPLE lambda, not the consensus.
+
+For detailed error analysis:
+  Use comprehensive_qc_data.csv in the detailed/ folder
+  This contains per-Q-score estimates with full error propagation.

+**Lambda estimates: which to use**
+
+The profiler calculates lambda (mutations per gene copy) via two methods:
+
+| Method | Formula | Error Quantified? | Used For |
+|--------|---------|-------------------|----------|
+| Simple | `(hit_rate - bg_rate) × seq_len` | No | KDE plot, Monte Carlo simulation |
+| Consensus | Precision-weighted average across Q-scores | Yes | Recommended for reporting |
+
+- **For publication/reporting**: Use the consensus value from `KEY_FINDINGS.txt` or `aa_mutation_consensus.txt`.
+- **For understanding distribution shape**: See the KDE plot in `summary_panels.png` (note: uses simple lambda).
+- **For detailed error analysis**: See `detailed/comprehensive_qc_data.csv`.
+
+The `KEY_FINDINGS.txt` file provides a plain-language summary including:
+- Expected AA mutations per gene copy
+- Poisson-based interpretation (% wild-type, % 1 mutation, % 2+ mutations)
+- Quality assessment (GOOD/ACCEPTABLE/LOW COVERAGE)
 
 **How the mutation rate and AA expectations are derived**
 
-1. Reads are aligned to both the region of interest and the full plasmid. Mismatches in the region define the “target” rate; mismatches elsewhere provide the background.
+1. Reads are aligned to both the region of interest and the full plasmid. Mismatches in the region define the "target" rate; mismatches elsewhere provide the background.
 2. The per-base background rate is subtracted from the target rate to yield a net nucleotide mutation rate, and the standard deviation reflects binomial sampling and quality-score uncertainty.
-3. The net rate is multiplied by the CDS length to estimate λ_bp (mutations per copy). Monte Carlo simulations then flip random bases, translate the mutated CDS, and count amino-acid differences across 1,000 trials—these drives the AA mutation mean/variance that appear in the panel plot.

 4. If multiple Q-score thresholds are analysed, the CLI aggregates them via a precision-weighted consensus (1 / standard deviation weighting) after filtering out thresholds with insufficient coverage; the consensus value is written to `aa_mutation_consensus.txt` and plotted as a horizontal guide.
