Shared-box narrative clarity (pack rule)

Carpenter (qualified feedstock), Bodycote (HIP / approved thermal post), and Nikon (large-format systems + metrology/CT) sit on one accepted-part route but own different constraints. Scores are retained independently; capacity or thesis signals in one layer do not migrate Pure/Materiality for another. Exposure ≠ materiality ≠ buy/sell. Research mapping only.
