  "why": "The first turn alone consumed 23% of the budget before any source was read; the remaining budget allows one reading turn and one recording turn with no margin for a failed call.",
  "kind": "more_budget",
  "owls": 3,
  "plan": "Each turn of this pass costs about $0.90 in context alone, so the $4 budget covers roughly four turns. With $3 more I would read the results sections of the four primary sources the verdict rests on (METR's SHUSHCAST monitorability evaluation, MonitoringBench arXiv 2605.09684, 'Coding with the Enemy' arXiv 2606.05647, Engels et al. arXiv 2504.18530) rather than their abstracts, record them as instances with readings, and then record the assessment, four argument written forms and evaluations.",
  "if_refused": "I will record the assessment from abstracts and summary sections, state in the reasoning that results sections were not read in full, and set marginal yield accordingly high."
