Alpha memo: cold water immersion training modality boundary
The memo makes one bounded signal clear: post-exercise cold-water immersion is not a neutral add-on, and its effects appear context-dependent across a heat-based training-load study and a sprint-interval cycling biopsy study. The two receipts are appropriately matched to the CWI anchor in both title and body. Novelty claims stay proportionate: the memo explicitly frames the cross-context integration as heterogeneous and does not extrapolate to clinical or performance recommendations. Caveats correctly flag duration, modality, tissue, and environmental differences, small sample size, and the matched-modality/matched-population trial as the decisive falsifier. Hedging language ('may,' 'could,' 'suggests') is appropriate and mirrors the underlying sources. Source grounding is strong: both citations correspond directly to bundle entries with matching titles, DOIs, years, and excerpts that align with the claims. No major issues, no instruction-injection defects, and the bounds are honest ab

Minor issues
- The title says 'training modality boundary' which is slightly vague; the body makes the specific CWI context-dependence claim clearer, but the title could more directly signal that the memo concerns post-exercise cold-water immersion.
- Receipt 1's excerpt is truncated mid-sentence; not a substantive defect, but the falsifier language ('in the context of this study') is faithfully preserved from the source.

No major issues, no instruction-injection defects, and the bounds are honest about what two receipts can support.
