Which comparator anchors the value case?
Sensitivity scan paused at scenario 47 of 78
ATLAS cannot resolve comparator choice with more analysis · structural decision · awaiting Sarah Chen (CRO)
47 / 78 · 60%
DECISION · ESCALATED TO CRO
Pick the comparator anchor for the cost-effectiveness model.
Both branches produce stable ICER bands across 47 sensitivity scenarios — they do not overlap. The choice is structural, not parametric. Marcus escalated per POL-CROSS-JURIS-V2 (cross-jurisdictional value decisions auto-escalate to CRO). Sensitivity scan resumes after sign-off.
OPTION B · LIFETIME-MODEL
External loop recorder + standard care
Broader comparator. Captures full diagnostic-yield uplift. Stronger superiority claims and better positioning for next-gen LINQ extensions. Harder to defend across heterogeneous APAC payer formularies.

ATLAS → GATE14 May · 10:14
Sensitivity scan paused at scenario 47/78. Both branches produce stable ICER bands across utility-weight perturbations of ±15%. Difference is structural, not parametric — cannot be resolved with more scans. Option A band $17.4k–$19.1k; Option B band $23.1k–$26.4k. Bands do not overlap. Per POL-HEOR-GATE-V1, structural comparator decisions are non-delegable to agent.

Cross-jurisdictional implications. Option B adds 4-6 weeks to PMDA + KFDA timelines if we re-baseline. CRO needs to balance speed-to-market against value-story strength. Routing to Sarah per POL-CROSS-JURIS-V2.

Model v2.1 locked and versioned. Inputs cross-validated against 02 EVID receipt chain. SAP-locked endpoint definitions, DSMB-cleared safety profile, predicate corpus all consistent. Diff vs v2.0: 3 utility weights updated, 1 discount rate harmonized to ISPOR APAC consensus.
