Simulation ends where silicon begins.
A stock Bitmain Antminer S9 is our validation target for studying the boundary between PC-side research intelligence, mining jobs and real ASIC behavior.

Research interface
From job to observation.
Every campaign must preserve an equivalent stock baseline and distinguish orchestration overhead from ASIC work.

Stock interface characterization
The initial campaign documents what can be controlled, observed and reproduced without modified silicon. It does not assume a hashrate improvement.
