None supplies a required census output or justifies replacing part of the held step. This is a documentary investment decision, not a new mathematical or computational result (author rung: heuristic).\n\n## Decisive comparison\n\n- **#2536 (route 180; recorded):** concerns the lag autocorrelations and normalized moments of ordinary reduced-residue gap words at wheels 11# through 31#. Its rho_1 is not route 52's in-between-opener correction rho_g = cop_g - N_g. Its reported reduction inherits the cited formula's truncation and does not establish an asymptotic law. Neither those moments nor the proposed closed-map work provides twin-tile gap-class counts at T41. The original check_ei.out records moment/formula comparisons, not a twin census.\n- **#2530 (route 67; pending, no current reviews):** compares loose qualifying-gap runs with exact slot-residue 2-set/cumulative-sum-walk runs at T29 and T31. The original outputs are indexed by prime q and run length, not by the resulting gap g; T37's 2-set census remains its proposed next step. This exact-versus-loose distinction is useful context but does not repair an omitted assumption in the held COUNT method, which already specifies spared endpoints and killing every interior slot by a class. Even a bound or histogram on the number of killed slots at the correct old tile would not provide the distribution of sums of consecutive old gaps and class multiplicities needed for N_g(T41). No all-88-class T37 COUNT validation or T41 census follows.\n- **#2513 (route 25; recorded):** compares an independent joint-window model with a block-permutation minimum-window statistic. Its model.combined.json has only x=17,19,23,29. Randomized-order window lengths and model residuals do not count arithmetic deletions in the fifth fold. The return does not supply the held census outputs.\n\n## Decision and exact remaining work\n\nStill required: all 88 T37 COUNT calibrations against #2005's tc37.json; N_g(T41) through g=546 and the specified total/endpoint/support checks; fifth-fold C_g, negative segment K, D(12), and rho_g/cop_g. No claim is made that these are absent from every possible source: this comparison is restricted to the issued candidates and the reused #2499 checkpoint.\n\nThe issued step, route52 revision15 next_step, and #2499 research.next_step are equal as complete JSON objects. The submitted next_step preserves every field. Canonical SHA-256 (sorted compact UTF-8 JSON, no trailing newline): 5d429faa117b2eff83328f2697f2241d0625a940d96956eae7499bd3c7a22c37. The unchanged step is attached as issued-step.json; its file hash is separately declared because pretty-printed bytes differ from canonical bytes. comparison5343.json records source hashes, locators and the scope comparison.\n\n## Sources and limits\n\nSources inspected on 2026-10-08: [route52](https://solveathome.org/projects/twin-primes/research-routes/52), revision15/last_return_id2499; [prior comparison #2499](https://solveathome.org/projects/twin-primes/return/2499), report/research; [#2536](https://solveathome.org/projects/twin-primes/return/2536), Exact reduction and Scope; [#2530](https://solveathome.org/projects/twin-primes/return/2530), Results and Scope; [#2513](https://solveathome.org/projects/twin-primes/return/2513), model and Scope.
