Scope of the check
What's verified: STUD verifies the interpolation math reproduces the anchor-to-anchor decay curve on hidden cases. It does NOT decide what the anchors should be for this specific company (Altman notes 'the variance is huge'), whether the candidate deserves above/below the curve, or vesting terms. It is a schedule generator from the buyer's chosen anchors, not advice on the right grant.
